Stop Delivering Training Events

The reality is that training "events" don't work. As vocational education and learning professionals, it's time we stopped delivering training events and started delivering performance improvement processes that have learning as a key component. You don't go to a class and next week, everything changes.
Companies invest in training and development to enhance capability and improve performance. However to improve performance, employees have to do things differently and better when they return to work. If they don't change their behaviors back on the job, then performance won't change, no matter how much they learned. As Einstein supposedly quipped: "One definition of insanity is to continue doing the same thing and expect a different result."
Registration or re-registration with ASQA is a rigorous process where the RTO must demonstrate compliance with the VET Quality Framework. Registration is the most critical risk that an RTO has to manage.
Vocational education and training professionals must respect their title and be responsible for their own learning if they expect respect from others. While this seems like common sense, many of our colleagues (particularly in the RTO environment) fail to challenge what they know and make little attempt to discover what they don't.
