“Quality of the speakers and relevance of the topics. Stephen Weaver was an excellent speaker and his topic was right on the mark in the context of the current VET environment” P Walls - TAFE NSW New England Institute
“I took away information that is very relevant to my organization in the time of major change. The presenters gave information and they also provided details of links to further information. The venue was really good, catering was excellent, networking opportunity outstanding. I am sorry I couldn't get to the second day” M Duncan - Anntek Pty Ltd

How the training could be improved
"More specific examples on "how" to do things rather than simply give information alone" M Small - Gladstone State High School
"More on technology - perhaps some hands on workshops would be good. Plus a higher level of management speaker ie the topics were good but the pitch was management/marketing 101" K Tarrant - Phoenix Academy
“I would like more variety. I think more foundation level RTO info would have been good. There wasn't a lot dedicated to the training/assmt side of things” S Fawcett - Australian Taxation Office
“More of the same, plus where the industry is moving, risk avoidance and opportunity development” I Morris - Interlink Technology Services Pty Ltd
"I would be more interested in opportunities for active learning rather than just receiving passive information" R Macleod - EIM Training
"More on social networking, mobile applications, presentation techniques, marketing your RTO, identifying business opportunities, real useful information on traditional VET topics i.e. not same old information that is readily available elsewhere" G Bramley-Moore - RTO Management Magazine
