Automating Your RTO with Zapier and Other Tools Paul Pellier, Managing Director, Accellier Education Day 1, Session 1
Robots aren’t taking our jobs. They’re freeing us up to spend more time serving our students, making meaningful connections with our teams, and building great RTOs. Let your future vision include the competitive advantages of efficiency, productivity, accuracy and quality improvements found through the automation and integration of your software. Using affordable, and some free tools, I will show you how to create automated workflows that once cost tens of thousands and a team of programmers to build.

Some Observations on Observation John Dwyer, Lead Consultant, Velg Training Day 2, Session 1
Observation is a powerful method of gathering direct evidence, but it has its problems. You can observe people and products, but you can’t observe thinking or attitudes. (You can only make inferences about them, and inferences are not reliable sources of evidence.) But you can observe behaviour. This session will consider: observation of people and their behaviours; observation of products; observations carried out by proxy, and observation checklists.

Re-Defining Competency: Time for a new approach Michael Hartman, CEO, Skills Impact Day 1, Session 2
Take a Deep Dive into a new perspective in this session, where participants will have the opportunity to step back from their day-to-day management or leadership role and consider the bigger picture of the role of the VET Sector. This presentation seeks to unpack some of the challenges for RTOs teaching competency. It offers a potential solution that would allow the VET sector to play to its strengths, increase quality and reduce the current levels of compliance required by RTOs, whilst increasing the level of trust by industry.

Analysing Learning Effectiveness John Blake, Consultant, eWorks Day 2, Session 2
Why do we educate? What is the value proposition of our core business? This session addresses skills and knowledge needed to reflect and evaluate training to measure the effectiveness value proposition of programs within your organisation. There will be strategic critical thinking goalposts used to analyse the impact of training of learners, the role of trainers and the benefits to relevant stakeholders including the learners, employers, organisations and the community.

Tips and Tricks for DIY Digital Learning Resources Kerri Buttery, Director, VETNexus Day 1, Session 4
The recent massive shift to online and digital learning has meant many RTOs have needed to pivot quite quickly to a different mode of delivery. For many, this has simply meant putting learner guides online and conducting webinars with students. For others, a huge investment has been made in paying for professionally produced online resources. However, is there a middle road? How much of this can an RTO develop in-house without an eLearning expert? The answer is – a lot!

Using Brain Science to Guide Education Dr Dan Hill, Director, SpecTraining Education Day 2, Session 4
Psychology, Neuroscience and Education research share important fundamentals - they all relate to the function of our brains that specifically enables learning. The session will introduce advances in neuroscience, psychology and education research that can easily be applied in all our training, highlighting the effects of each of these on training outcomes and how these fundamentals can maximise the learning experience of our students.

Compliance: The annual approach Angela McGregor, Owner and Principal Consultant, RTO Consulting Day 1, Session 4
Creating a culture of compliance means first identifying the key areas of risk, gaining a ‘where we are at now’ status and unpacking the potential consequences of not identifying and addressing non-compliance. Once this occurs an RTO can then truly look at developing and implementing strategies to manage compliance obligations as a part of everyday business. This Deep Dive session aims to shift our thinking to sharing the compliance obligation across the organisation.
