UPDATE CERT IV OUTDOOR RECREATION

With the Industry Quality Framework now addressing alignment of its various components and gaining traction within policy making jurisdictions, the outdoor industry now has a framework within / upon which to build a sustainable training function. Outdoors WA has completed its investigation into the feasibility of developing an industry based delivery model for the CERT IV in Outdoor Recreation following Central TAFE’s decision NOT to offer the course in 2009. THe course will commence in February. Details for enrolments will be available soon.

SPORT AND RECREATION TRAINING PACKAGE REVIEW WORKSHOPS

Following feedback from individual leaders, government agencies, outdoor organisations and training providers, a review of all aspects of the NOLRS was conducted in 2006 and as a consequence a number of significant changes have been made to produce the second version of NOLRS or “NOLRS Version 2”.

The major changes are:

*A number of new activity areas

*Removal of some knowledge and skills requirements (or competencies) from the requirements for some activities or Registration Levels

*Additional Registration Levels for some activity areas (eg. Instructor Registration Levels for bushwalking)

*Introduction of a range of ‘Restricted Guide’ Registration Levels

*Access to the Scheme from a range of training outcomes including the tertiary sector and commercial and not-for-profit training providers

*Introduction of the concept of NOLRS preferred assessment providers

*Clarification of ‘currency requirements’ for leaders entering the Scheme

*Recognition within NOLRS of “experienced” leaders (who have operated for more than six years at a particular Registration Level)

*Addition of minimum experience requirements for newly graduated leaders

*Revised re-registration requirements
