We have as chat about getting your organisation ready for a compliance audit - but not the way you think. Audit Express have a unique way of approaching compliance that I think you'll appreciate!

Scott is an absolute delight to listen to. His passion for technology and instructional design should get you thinking about how these two fields overlap in your own context. He certainly made me think! Especially when it comes to 'who owns your content?'

Norma Angeloni-Tomaras has spent the majority of her working life dedicated to the education publishing industry. In her role at McGraw-Hill Education, she manages the VET portfolio and takes the time to talk with me about the direction of this part of the publishing business.

Maciek Fibrich is a unique and interesting individual in the world of RTO consultancy and management.

Vanessa McCarthy is a lifelong professional in the vocational education sector.

Matthew Dale is the founder of Educonomy. In this chat, we discuss the relevance and importance of micro learning and micro credentialing, along with a few other factors that are important for educators and policy makers when thinking about the future of learning in the VET sector.

Tamara is an RTO coach - but one who takes a holistic approach to the ins and outs of running the business, not just the compliance heavy side. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and talking with Tamara and look forward to your comments on the advice she gives us as embattled RTO owners, managers and staff!

Michelle shares her passion for validation - yes, validation! Her organisation is offering bootcamps for RTO employees to improve their validation practices. It's such an important part of the VET landscape; not just a compliance requirement.

Marc shares some tips from his presentation at the Velg National VET Conference in Brisbane. Some insights are just SO obvious that we should all be applying them... but we don't!

Eric and Laurie share a practical and impressive approach to classroom learning that improves not only the plight of the hardened facilitator - but that of the ever-suffering learner, through the application of structure to otherwise ambiguous learning activities.
