Free TAFE for Priority Courses reduces the financial barrier for students wanting to train in courses that lead to jobs in demand from Victorian employers.
More than ever, the skills we need to build our state are learned at TAFE.
Free TAFE for Priority Courses will reduce the financial barrier for students wanting to train in courses that lead to jobs in demand from Victorian employers.
Free TAFE for Priority Courses covers tuition fees for priority courses for students who are eligible for government-subsidised training. This includes:
30 priority non apprenticeship courses
20 Victorian apprenticeship pathway courses (sometimes called pre apprenticeships)

Best Practices in Heavy Transport and Lifting, Emphasizing Safety
26 – 28 August 2019, Perth
Overview
The efficient and safe execution of lifting and transporting objects that are heavy or awkward in size or shape involves specialized load handling equipment and various different modes of operation. These kind of operations require a thorough understanding of the physics and laws of nature that contribute to the success of such activities. This course is designed for personnel involved in specialized transportation and lifting from contract transport organizations and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to engineering companies and project owners in the oil and gas, power generation and other plant-environment industries.
Characteristic for this industry is often the absence of standardization across multiple countries or companies. This leads to unique engineering and planning for each project, a truly indispensable element in projects of this nature. The engineering principles of hydraulic platform trailers like self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) are delved into along with a variety of other load handling equipment. Heavy lift, jacking and skidding, and load-out (roll-on/roll-off) project case studies are utilized for participants to gain a broad understanding of the art and science of specialized transport and heavy lift operation.
The knowledge gained in this course is universally applicable to all specialized transport and heavy lift projects as it is based on solid engineering principles, it will provide each participant a life time of benefits.

Important Verification Checks To Protect Your Company Against Liability
Various verification checks can be utilised to help mitigate risks, firstly at the point of recruitment / engagement of personnel/contractors, and secondly on an ongoing basis.
These can include:
National Police Checks – this can prevent engaging personnel with known criminal backgrounds who may have a higher chance of creating risk for the company.
Background checks – these verify a person’s employment and/or qualification background is as they say it is on their resume.
Bankruptcy checks – may be important for contractors.
Driver License status checks – initial and ongoing checks can mitigate the risk of consequences as referenced above, with unlicensed drivers.
