'Connect Training Grioups distance education option provided the flexibility and time efficiency that I needed. The RPL assessor delivered feedback and other RPL process requirements in a very professional and timely manner. The proces required evidence from a variety of sources and was conducted in a very professional, efficient and practical manner. I would highly recommend this service to any other training professional.'
Jim Turacto - QM Solutions - VIC - February 2012
'The course was well thought out and efficient. I like the reinforcement that was achived by assessing with different tools i.e. Multi choice, short answer, case study and interview. Kerry was great. She was thoughtful, porfessional, friendly and thorough. I have recommended this course to all my colleagues who require the upgrade to the TAE10.'
Nick Speel - Swinburne TAFE - VIC - January 2012
'I found the content and work requirements of the course easily understandable, very comprehensive and most appropriate to my requirements. The online interface was well organised, easily navigated and free from errors. The personal support provided from the trainer, Kerry Croft, was exceptionally detailed and helpful. I really appreciated the extra advice that she gave to qualify and extend my answers. The course has not only prepared me to competently assess units in my current teaching area but it gave me the expertise and opportunity to develop training and assessments in a new area (bee-keeping) with which I plan to continue in the future. I really appreciated receiving prompt replies to my queries and having quick and thorough evaluations of my submitted work (even during the Christmas/New Year holiday period). Being able to complete a course when it suited me was one of the main reasons for my choosing an online one. Having such quick responses from Kerry was critical in facilitating the effectiveness of this strategy. I have no hesitation in recommending TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment - Teachers Fast Track course with Connect Training Group Pty Ltd.'
Barry Cooper - Registered Teacher - VIC - January 2012
'The best feature of my course was the flexibility of its structure. The site was easy to understand and very user friendly. It was a great online learning tool. The enrolment was quick and the support regarding my course enquiry was almost as quick. I was very impressed with the whole process.'
Dominic Buchta - Contract Trainer - NSW - January 2012
'Online and quick responsive links with my assessor at all times. I always knew where I was at with the upgrade. Easy, quick, pain-free and great communication with Kerry Croft. Thanks!'
H McComas - Australian Customs - SA - January 2012
'I like the specific feedback I received for almost all questions. It added a personal nature to what could have been a very impersonal experience (having never studied online I wasn't expecting the personal touch!). I have spoken to quite a few people who have completed the Certificate IV in training and assessment certificate online through various online learning programs. Something that seemed uniique about my course was that my results came back very quickly and I received personal feedback and this was something that was extremely valuable to me.'
Emma - Bornhoffen PCYC QLD - November 2011

K Johnson - VRA Trainer NSW - November 2011
'I feel that the best features of this course include: 1.Bringing me up to date with Assessment/Validation processes in the sector. 2. Exposure to key online sites. 3. Excellent support from Kerry!

Susan Peatfield - QLD - October 2011
'I had to do this course to maintain currency for my position within a training organisation. So it went from a "have too", to a very valuable learning experience. This course provided me with the links and relevant knowledge to understand the process of how assessments, validation and moderation occurs. I now have the confidence, knowledge and skills to contribute to staff and team meetings on workplace assessing. I was able to speak directly with Kerry and have any questions answered quickly. These conversations where really important, particularly when completing a course on-line. Thank you!'
Anna Brown NSW - October 2011

Majella Daley - Safety Co-ordinator QLD - July 2011
'I found this process to be completely manageable and 'user friendly', whilst adequately allowing me to prove my skills. I wanted an RPL process that was not onerous but that ensured my knowledge and skills were actually recognised and any gaps were identified and addressed. This process recognized and validated my existing knowledge and skills in a way that fitted in with a busy schedule. The best feature of the RPL process was the timeliness and practicality. From enrolment to completion, I received timely responses to any queries and the process moved along at a steady pace. The approach to RPL made it possible to gather and provide evidence without being too onerous. Telephone discussions with myself and my employer enabled demonstration and verification of skills in a real and meaningful way. Thank you!'
Cheryl Taylor - VIC - July 2011

Kerry is a critical examiner and has a fine eye for detail, all, in my opinion, excellent traits of a good trainer. Many thanks again Kerry.'
Garry Young (Training Manager Royal Navy) June 2011
'I spoke with Kerry a number of times on the phone and she was able to clearly detail the requirements of the tasks for the RPL process. She asked relevant questions of my experience and knowledge to ensure I was in fact competent in the units for this course. Sufficient, valid and current evidence was requested from me, which covered the requirements in line with the course as detailed in the Training Package. Great job Kerry.'
Ray Earl(CEO) Skynet Education June 2011
'I loved the on-line format as it gave me freedom to start when I wanted, progress at a speed suitable to balance other things, whilst in the comfort of my own workspace. In a classroom environment, one would have been restrained by the learning speed of others, so it was great for me!'
Wendy Lundgaard (Director) Win Win Workplace Strategies May 2011
'It was fantastic to find Connect Training Group who offered a 'fast track' Certificate IV in Training and Assessment course. I spent a long time investigating different courses and it was awesome to find one that takes into account Teacher training. I was motivated to keep searching because it made no sense at all for a fully qualified Teacher to not have their prior learning acknowledged. The support was excellent! Prompt, positive and informative feedback. I felt very well supported.'
Jane Horton May 2011
'The RPL process for this particular training (TAE40110 Cert IV TAA upgrade) is a great way to upskill for industry professionals in line with the new AQTF requirements.

Cindy Williams E First Aid Training NSW April 2011

Emma Duffy Melbourne VIC Sep 2010
'It was great to undertake a RPL process that anyalses your evidence and from there determined the gaps to undertake a QA process. My previous experience of RPL with other training organisations, evidence of skills and knowledge was based on how much information you could present in hardcopy! The RPL process used by Connect Training was effective, efficient and accommodated by education needs. I will be recommending Connect Training to other professionals, particularly for upgrade to the TAE.
Louise Smith NATA QLD Sep 2010
'Hi Kerry & Laurie, You have no idea how good I feel right now. I really would like to thank you both for the positive feedback and encouragement you have provided right from the start. I just took pot luck when I started this venture and believe myself very fortunate to have picked CONNECT TRAINING GROUP PTY LTD'.
Jim Freeth Bomaderry NSW Feb 2010
'Question: Why would you study online with a Training Group from Cairns, North Queensland when you live in Albury, NSW? Answer: They treat you with respect, nothing is too much trouble and all the Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I would like to sincerely thank the Staff of Connect Training Group for their assistance, advice and help throughout the Training Course. The one on one interaction has been instrumental in achieving my goal and without the fantastic, positive and constructive feedback I believe I would have taken longer to complete the course. Special thanks to Kerry must be made as she was a true believer in me; we were able to share criticisms, feedback and the odd joke or two. No question was too simple, repetitive questions were accepted, explanations were clear and concise and she made a person feel like part of the FAMILY I would have no hesitation in recommending Connect Training Group to friends and acquaintance if and when they look to undertake further training'.
Ian Jeffery Albury NSW March 2010
'I think the content and the way this course is delivered is excellent'.
