What You Get When You Hire Steve

When you hire Steve as a trainer or assessor, you get someone who can design and deliver practical, workplace-aligned training. He develops session plans, assessments, and learning materials that connect to real work contexts. He translates complex technical or safety requirements into clear, usable learning experiences.

His facilitation style is calm and structured, suited to mixed-experience groups. He works with adult learning principles and competency-based training approaches. Training is practical rather than academic, grounded in current industry tools and workflows, and designed for real workplaces not idealised classrooms.

Industry Expertise You Can Access

Steve maintains current industry experience alongside his training credentials. His technical capability includes software and systems engineering, cloud architecture and AWS, artificial intelligence and machine learning applied to real business workflows, automation of work tasks using modern tools and platforms, and IoT, electronics, and applied technology projects across multiple sectors.

This means when you hire him, you're getting someone who understands both the training requirements and the industry reality. His vocational competence is maintained through continuous hands-on work, not just reading about it.

Training and Assessment Experience

Steve has experience developing manual handling and safety-related learning materials, creating risk matrices and safety documentation for real workplaces, and coaching and mentoring in workplace and technical contexts. His training content reflects current legislation, standards, and industry practice.

As an industry expert, he is available for independent validation and moderation of assessment. This ensures assessments are fair, valid, reliable, and aligned with industry standards and workplace requirements.

VET Currency and Compliance

Steve actively maintains currency in both vocational education and industry practice. He stays engaged with VET regulatory updates and standards, participates in continuous professional development in training, assessment, and facilitation, and regularly attends industry events, conferences, and technical forums.

This means when you work with him, you're getting someone whose knowledge is current and compliant, not outdated. Training content remains relevant and aligned with how work is actually done today.

Ad-Hoc Consultancy for VET Trainers

If you're a VET trainer who needs specific industry help, Steve offers ad-hoc consultancy. Whether you need technical expertise to validate your training content, industry input on assessment design, or support understanding how current industry practice relates to your training delivery, he can provide targeted assistance.

This consultancy is flexible and focused on what you actually need. It's not about long-term contracts or unnecessary complexity - it's about getting the right industry perspective when you need it.

What to Expect

When you work with Steve, expect training and consultancy that is practical rather than academic, focused on capability building not box-ticking, and adaptable to different organisational contexts and learner backgrounds. He respects learners' time and intelligence, and doesn't do compliance training that treats adults like children.

His approach works well for organisations that value clarity, competence, and outcomes. It's less suited to those seeking purely theoretical or compliance-only delivery.

Important Note

Steve is not an RTO. He provides training consultancy and delivery support as a trainer and assessor. If you need accredited qualifications delivered, he can help you understand what's required and connect you with appropriate RTOs.
