TAE10 Training & Assessment

The new Certificate IV in Training & Assessment (TAE 40110) has arrived! PEP is pleased to offer this program in partnership with Navitas Workforce Solutions.

In addition to meeting the AQTF requirements, this program will push you to be the best trainer you can be. This is not for those who simply want the piece of paper. We believe training is a full body sport! We teach the skills to develop you into a professional trainer and our standards are very high.

Our Certificate IV in Training & Assessment is, we believe, the best in Australia. This course is for professionals who want to be the best they can be. PEP professional trainers have researched, explored and tested a range of techniques that are recognised world wide as the best for training excellence.

Our programs are not for the feint hearted. Participants can expect to be practicing and drilling skills, being front of room regularly, and learning from experience. These techniques come from a range of disciplines, philosophies and environments including, Applied psychology, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Education, VET Sector and Stage & Theatre.

Our World Class Trainers Training is the culmination of everything that PEP has always done well. Included on our program is:

NLP Patterns in Training
Spiral Dynamics
Flilpcharts

PEP is pleased to be partnering with Navitas Workforce Solutions (NWS) in the delivery of this program. The program will be delivered by PEP under the auspices of NWS with all qualifications issued by NWS.

This program is no longer being offered as a public offering. We would be happy to discuss running this internally for you for groups of 6 or more. Contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for further information.

Agility –v- Resilience

I have just come back from a large summit up in Ho Chi Minh city where the word “resilience” was used a lot.

It reminded me that this is a word I hear about a lot in organisations, and amongst trainers.

When I hear the word “resilient” I immediately think of a toy I had when I was a kid. It was one of those blow up clowns, weighted on the bottom, so that when you knocked it over, it would bounce straight back to it’s original position. To me, that’s what resilience is, bouncing back.

When it comes to being a trainer, you need a certain level of resilience, sure. However I think the real trick is agility.

For me, agility is about bouncing back to a different position, to avoid being knocked down again. It would be the blow up clown with a bit of AI artificial intelligence that when it bounces back, it is to a different position every time. It learns where the “blows” are coming from and responds accordingly.

To do this, trainers need to have lots of tools and techniques so that they can move and work and find the mark with their participants.

The Law of Requisite Variety is sometimes known as Ashby's Law after William Ashby is:

"the variety in the control system must be equal to or larger than the variety of the perturbations in order to achieve control"

This simply means that a flexible system with many options is better able to cope with change.

Being an “agile trainer” requires consideration of the following:

1. If you are stuck, try something…ANYTHING! … and pay attention to the feedback you are getting.
2. If that doesn’t work, try something else….and pay attention to the feedback you are getting.
3. There’s no such thing as failure, only feedback
