RTBU-Owned Training Organisation

As all of you would be aware, training organisations in our industries often deliver sub-standard training. The RTBU has long been concerned with the safety implications that arise as a result of poor practice by such organisations, and now, we are setting out to fix that problem.

The RTBU has acquired Training Ahead Australia (TAA) and will take ownership from 1 August 2023.

By acquiring TAA and maximising its potential, our intention is to:

• Ensure quality training for our industries
• Deliver medicals (Category 3 at first and then more later)
• Improve safety standards
• Become a recruitment funnel for our industries
• Deliver training to our officials, employees, delegates and HSRs
• In time, offer free courses to all RTBU members who want to upskill or cross-skill.

Over the coming months, key personnel from TAA and the RTBU will meet to formulate a strategy on how to maximise TAA’s potential for the benefit of all members.
