Four strong reasons and one big secret you should know about becoming a Compliance Instructor with Certificate IV TAA


Mike Evans Managing Director Australian Security Academy So why should you become a qualified workplace Instructor Assessor with a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment Qualification? There are 4 main reasons and one secret nobody anticipated that works in your favour:

Change - The changing landscape of compliance learning and assessment in Vocational Education and Training (VET).

Opportunity - TAFE’s are now becoming corporate entities and must compete for government funding, no longer are TAFE’S, Universities and Government RTO’s the recipients of unlimited government funding / money. they have to have people like you designing, delivering and assessing training.

Income - You can compliment your current career and formalise your teaching qualifications to add an extra income stream. Part time, full time or casual. Experience - Your experience is a demand commodity. No longer can any teacher, teach any subject. Only those with industry experience and formal qualifications can now do so in VET.

Change

The investigation, security risk management, government fraud control and OH&S compliance industries are constantly evolving. Teachers and assessors in these industries are required to have knowledge of current industry practices, requirements, skills and procedures, as well as qualifications. What’s changed? Getting on an air plane, obtaining a drivers license or even buying a mobile phone or opening a bank account has now become a security and compliance issue. Duty of Care, Liability, Security, Risk Assessment are common daily workplace terms now that were once the realm of the consultant. It is a very different world today than it was 10 years ago. Every workplace now has a compliance regime guided by policy and procedure. The workplace and the community is changing constantly. Asylum seekers, immigration policies, government financial policy, aging population, shifts in work from manual to IT related skills are only small parts of the change.

Opportunity

If you work in investigation, security risk management, government fraud control or OH&S compliance industries and have experience, training and qualifications you can teach and assess all the Nationally Recognised Qualifications you hold on behalf of a TAFE or RTO. But only if you hold a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. I commenced the Australian Security Academy in early 2001. At that time I held two qualifications, a Certificate IV in Workplace Training and a Certificate IV in Investigative Services. With those I established my Registered Training Organisation (The Australian Security Academy) and have since assisted thousands of students to attain their qualifications. The 1600th on line student at the Australian Security Academy will enroll in July 2010. We have only had on line training for three years. In addition to that we conduct face to face, in class instruction and assessment. I would estimate this represents less than 5% of the total market that was available in that time. The opportunities in the South Pacific region are viable and real.

Income

The Security Industry dollar value market for security services in Australia is worth Four Billion Dollars annually!!! Your partner could not spend that in a lifetime! Now if the industry in 2010 is worth that, imagine what it will be worth annually, two, five or ten years from now. Businesses are under threat from, theft, armed hold up, scams, identity fraud, credit card fraud, competitor / employee infiltration, natural disaster and the list goes on. You can share in this very real ongoing opportunity. The safety and security of your local area, state and country will never be guaranteed, but can be monitored and counter measures put in place as a result of your training. Experience We all reach a time in our careers where we have something to give back to the industry we work in. Your tips, your guidance and your practical application of your methods and practices will assist other to grow professionally. You can maximise the success of others, through your formal training and assessment qualification.

The Secret

The current pool of Security Risk Management, Investigation, OH&S & Government Fraud Control instructors are getting older. I have watched instructors come into the education field; achieve success and recognition, and then apply that to other industries (construction, fitness, mining, forensics, bio metrics, agriculture & government) and achieve outstanding success in a new direction. Behind they left a vacum as they pursued new challenges based on their success in compliance Vocational Education and Training. This is not regrettable, it is a natural flow of career growth. What is required now, is genuine new input in compliance training from enthusiastic emerging instructors that have not already begun their formal teaching, but will carry out their teaching successfully over the next decade. You must be visionary to succeed, you must want to help others and you must want to take action to start that now.
