Vive La Difference! Unpacking the VET sector’s requirements for fit-for-purpose tech

Rob is the Founder and Managing Director of Cloud Assess, the pioneers of Digital Assessment in the VET sector. In 2012 Rob identified the shortfall for a fit-for-purpose digital assessment solution for the VET sector, and so Cloud Assess was born. Since 2012 Cloud Assess has grown from a great idea, to the leading solution for the VET sector. Facilitating an immersive and wholistic digital experience for the training and assessment of learners, encompassing all assessment requirements including workplace evidence and employer/supervisor engagement.

Rob’s passion for training and personal development has seen him involved extensively with the VET sector over the past two decades. As a qualified Trainer and Assessor, his career has seen him register and manage RTOs, and solicit and acquire funding contracts. Rob’s experience has been enriched at a hands-on level ranging from running apprenticeship programs and managing school based apprentices, through to developing training and assessment resources for his own RTO which he sold in 2015.

Initially an engineer, Rob built a strong background in process, operational and quality management. After gaining extensive experience in the UK, Rob consulted internationally in an efficiency and operational management context, working with iconic brands such as QANTAS and BHP Billiton, and also providing consulting advice for the Australian Federal Government.
