Group314 > About Group314

Group 314 is an enthusiastic team of professional trainers and assessors providing assistance to individuals and businesses though the provision of accredited and non-accredited courses. We draw upon a vast amount of experience from within our network to provide a wide range of training and assessment services.

We offer a range of delivery types including classroom-based, workplace and online. The delivery type is based on the needs of students and the specific requirements of the course. We specialise in the conduct of assessment, particularly through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

We also provide leadership and personal development programs through the conduct of adventurebased learning activities. These activities facilitate the development of individual and group qualities.

Group 314 takes prides in ensuring that skills and knowledge delivered in our courses have been ‘learnt’, not just ‘taught’. We focus on the learning needs of individual students and utilise Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) techniques. We believe that a lifetime of experience should be recognised and draw upon evidence of existing competency where possible. In order to make an assessment decision we get to know our students as people, we don’t just ‘tick the box’. We make sure that students are competent and have the confidence to use their skills in the real world. We want our students to experience personal success, so we make sure they have the skills to achieve this.

We tailor our courses to the unique needs of individuals and organisations. This is achieved by conducting pre-training interviews with students and organisations to ensure the course is delivered within the right context, is relevant and that students have the necessary skills for their actual roles once they have been deemed competent. This allows us to tailor the duration and content for each course on an individual basis.

Group 314 was formed in 2007 and accredited as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in 2009.

Since its establishment, Group 314 has provided, and continues to provide, quality training and assessment services to Australian and International enterprises in sectors such as:

• Mining
• Construction
• Emergency Services
• Government
• Financial Services
• Training and Education
• Outdoor Leadership
• Business Services
• Maritime
• Defence

Group 314 can establish Vocational Education and Training (VET) Partnerships, either with individual trainers working with a handful of students, or with organisations involving thousands of students.

A VET Partnership is where the responsibility for training and assessment is shared between an RTO and another organisation (the VET Partner) through a written agreement. This allows the VET Partner to utilise their own internal resources for training and assessment (should they wish) but their students can still receive an accredited certificate from the RTO. A VET Partner can therefore realise the benefits of operating as an RTO but without the overall cost.

VET Partnerships are established on a case-by-case basis. The requirements of Group 314 and the VET Partner must be fully analysed, and an agreement developed to ensure each organisation is aware of their roles and responsibilities.
