Upskilled strives for excellence in all levels of our service,
but where we excel is with our trainers and facilitators.
Upskilled takes great pride in bringing the very best trainers
and facilitators to our course sessions and business development
programs. Each week, Upskilled conducts courses at over 70
locations around Australia, so it is imperative that we maintain a
large team of specialist trainers to ensure that the highest
standards of delivery and service are maintained.
All Upskilled trainers and facilitators have extensive
experience working in and with commercial organisations. As well as
recent and relevant business experience, our trainers and
facilitators are highly qualified and credentialed. Many trainers
hold an MBA or similar qualification; all have, as a minimum, the
essential qualification for training and assessment (TAE40110).
Upskilled is committed to gathering participant feedback for the
support of trainers and facilitators. In turn, the knowledge that
Upskilled trainers deliver is highly valued by course participants
and business clients alike. Facilitator expertise extends well
beyond structured sessions, and informs every aspect of the
superior learning experience that Upskilled specialises in.
