DO YOU NEED FIRE EQUIPMENT TRAINING?

CTS need your help! 

We are gathering interest from our clients, students and subscribers to find out if YOU want your trusted Registered Training Organisation (that's us) to add TLIF2018 Operate firefighting equipment to our scope. 

We have a great opportunity to partner with a local organisation to deliver this to workplaces in the Peel, Goldfields and South West regions, but before we throw ourselves into the deep end, we need to understand the call for it.

A - You would LOVE this training for yourself or a company
B - You would like to do this as general training, but don't need the "piece of paper"
C - Nope, not interested  Complete the poll!



CTS STUDENT OF THE MONTH
Meet Mandy

Introducing Mandy Richards, SW HSE Administrator at Qube, our inaugural Student of the Month! Mandy completed the Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety (WHS), and provided her assessor with fantastic and relevant evidence that was applied and utilised immediately within her role. Mandy tells us more about her experience with CTS and her trainer. 

CTS: Why did you enrol in this qualification?
MR: To broaden my knowledge in WHS which in turn will give me a better understanding of my job. To further my career.

CTS: How has this qualification helped you at work?
MR: I am confident in reading and interpreting the OHS Act, Regs, CoP's and Guidance Notes. I now have the confidence and knowledge to risk assess, identify hazards, conduct Class 3 and ICAM investigations to high standards. I'm the main Contractor Management Administrator for site, with a profile of 26 sub-contractors, managing over 130 workers. Now managing workers compensation cases, involving Fit for Work management. Actively involved in Safety Meetings. Not bad for someone who starting doing document control a few days a week.

CTS: How was your overall experience with CTS?
MR: My overall experience has been exciting and enjoyable. There were times that I was challenged and found some of it overwhelming, however the constant support and feedback from Jonathan helped me accomplish my results.

CTS: Can you sum up your CTS Case Manager, Jonathan Potter, in one sentence?
MR: Jonathan is a passionate trainer, with the ability to make the most intense and sometimes boring (but relevant) content, fun, interesting and understandable.  See more on Certificate IV Work Health and Safety.

BEN ALDRIDGE
A CTS training partner and friend!

After an unusual accident 11 years ago Ben has discovered that being a quadriplegic is a lot more than not being able to walk.  

Since then Ben has experienced firsthand many of society's stereotypes about people with a disability and all of which he was guilty of believing before his accident. 

He also has faced the worst version of himself during his battles with Post Traumatic Stress, Anxiety, Depression and Addiction. 

Ben has overcome challenges faced and is now running his own business, whilst raising his young family in Bunbury. As a Professional Speaker he discusses the issues of Mental Health, Resilience and Disability of in an amusing, engaging and enlightening style that not only educates the audience about these challenges but also what society can do differently in the future. 

CTS and Ben co-deliver Disability Awareness Training. You can book with CTS on 08 9791 6611 or through Ben's website  30 Foot Drop.

Safety for Supervisors 1 Day Course
11 December- 8.30am - 4.00pm
$330 includes catering!

There is so much important information covered in this 1 day course that it would be remiss of us to not give you our personal invitation to attend, or ask you to consider sending a supervisor or manager this offer.

Supervisors have the authority and responsibility to create and support a workplace culture that promotes safe work practices and take their responsibilities under safety legislation seriously. 

Let's face it, the health, safety and wellness of the people we work with is serious business, and it's important that supervisors understand how to practically apply their duty of care obligations on a daily basis. 

NOTE: This in NOT a lecture-fest. This is a truly engaging experience that encourages dialogue, interaction and the brain picking of our passionate and helpful safety facilitators who are also safety advisors and safety auditors. 

We have a special offer just for subscribers below and you can  download the flyer to learn more!
