ASIAL the poor victim of the Training Industry in NSW
Investigation Industry Flyweight Deloitte's has punched the buttons and delivered shock metaphorical black eyes to Security Industry Heavy Weights and a potential death blow to Sumo Weight Industry Association ASIAL.
How did Deloittes do that from an environment where the most dangerous thing that can happen to it's staff is a really nasty paper cut?
Deloitte's were engaged by the NSW Police to review the CAPI / Sir dual Security Industry Licensing system
See the review as disseminated by the NSW Police here..
See the letter to Master License holders from NSW Police..
ASIAL desperate to stay alive have found a scape goat blaming the Training Industry for the 2007 Security licensing issues. Ged Byrnes President of ASIAL says:
"Industry is now being penalised and blamed because the NSW Government failed to correct internal faults within the regulator (in dealing with the 2007 license issues) and with VETAB (in the ongoing accrediting and proper auditing of training providers). "
Here is a short history lesson that has been hidden:
ASIAL has had representatives at meetings involving changes to the initial 1998 PRS Asset Security Training Package, the PRS03 Asset Security Training Package. These meetings convened and conducted by Brendan Mulhall of BMA Consulting and attendees names were documented. ASIAL members sat on steering committees for the design of each training package. The Chairman of the CPP 07Asset Security Training Package steering Committee and the Managing Director of that Committee were from organisations that are members of ASIAL. So ASIAL had input into all this training design and now is blaming the Training Industry. How many ways can you have it ? One day you are steering, monitoring and advising on how training should happen, and then when it suits, you blame the industry that you advised.
I am pleased that positive change is happening to Investigations Licensing in NSW. I don't agree that the expense should be so high or passed onto those doing the work, it will cause a lot of damage and risk monopolies and cartels emerging.
Don't blame Deloittes for for fixing a broken system, they are Investigators and they understand Investigations.
Here are the people who conducted the 07 Training Package review If you look closely apart from the Chairperson and Managing Director there are 5 other members of ASIAL on this committee, 7 out of 26.
"In 2006 BMA Consulting was contracted to redevelop PRS03 Asset Security Training Package for incorporation into CPP07 Property Services Training Package. Consultation and validation processes confirmed that while the existing qualifications structure continued to meet the needs of industry, additional flexibility was required. The major outcomes from the review were:
. updated units of competency and qualifications enhanced pathways through the redevelopment of the Certificate I qualification
. increased flexibility through changed packaging arrangements and use of skill sets in key areas (e.g. monitoring room operations and investigative services).
The redevelopment of PRS03 was overseen by a Project Steering Committee chaired by Mr Tom Roche, Managing Director, SNP Security. The Project Steering Committee comprised:
1. Tom Roche (Chair), SNP Security
