Australasian Academy of Cosmetic

Dermal ScienceIf you’ve ever thought about a career in dermal therapy or cosmetic

medicine, the Australasian Academy of Cosmetic Dermal Science (AACDS)

can make it a reality in a unique and practical learning environment.

AACDS is a registered training organisation

specialising in dermal therapy and cosmetic

medicine education and training including

cosmetic treatments such as laser, intense

pulsed light (IPL), superfi cial peels, skin

needling, dermal fi llers and wrinkle-relaxers.

“We deliver a range of nationally-accredited

qualifi cations available for students wanting

to start a new career in this fi eld and a

range of postgraduate qualifi cations for

students from a beauty, nursing or health

background,” AACDS Director April

Jorgensen said.

The qualifi cations AACDS deliver are

unique to the organisation and according

to Ms Jorgensen are not to be likened to a

qualifi cation in beauty therapy.

“The course curriculum is developed by a

team of cosmetic physicians and surgeons,

cosmetic nurses, dermal therapists and

allied health professionals,” she said.

As well as providing fl exible study options for

students including online and part-time study

options, AACDS has recently introduced

VET FEE-HELP to make gaining the skills for

your new career easier than ever.

Ms Jorgensen said this allowed students to

study now and pay later, once their earnings

reached a certain threshold.

To help you get a head start in the job

market, AACDS is co-joined to Western

Australia’s largest cosmetic medical practice

and day hospital meaning students will

gain real experience in a real medical

environment.

“The practical training associated with all

AACDS qualifi cations requires the use of the

latest cosmetic equipment and products,

and our training program is unique in that

we only take two students per assessor or

trainer providing students with a quality-

learning environment and exclusivity to

specialised equipment,” Ms Jorgensen said.

Visit aacds.edu.au to fi nd out more about

AACDS, and to see if you might be eligible

for VET FEE-HELP visit studyassist.gov.au.

WA Skills Training makes converting your licence simpleWorkSafe recently made changes to the High Risk Work Licence, which

will affect people in the mining, resources and construction industries.

The changes to the WorkSafe High Risk

Work Licence took effect on April 1, when

all RII Units of Competency relating to

high-risk work changed to TLI and CPC

Licence to Operate.

This means people who hold the previous

RII Unit of Competency for the High

Risk Work Licences will still be able to

continue to use their licence; however

many employers will soon start to request

the new licence to operate as the unit of

competency for the high-risk work their

employees conduct. WA Skills Training has

made the process to convert to the new

licence to operate simple to complete via

its online training system.

After completing a simple online exercise

you will receive the new Licence to

Operate, which is recognised Australia-

wide. The online assessment costs

$75 per unit/ticket and will enable you

to update your qualifi cation to the new

Licence to Operate via a Recognition of

Current Competency (RCC).

WA Skills Training Managing Director Bob

Butson said the company also provided

other online services, with plans for more

in the near future.

“WA Skills Training are also running

the Verifi cation of Competency (VoC),

White Card and Section 44 online

via our online training system on our

webpage. Additional theory training of the

following units of competency such as

Working at Heights, Confi ned Space and

Gas Test Atmosphere will be coming online

soon,” he said.

WA Skills Training is also able to provide

an online service for those needing to

update their Mobile Plant Operator’s Ticket

(MNM or BCC) to the Current RII Unit of

Competency.

In addition to online training, WA Skills

Training offers a number of courses, from

single units to full qualifi cations.

The courses cover various topics including

risk management, occupational health

and safety, and training and assessment

in addition to specialised leadership

programs. Courses are conducted at the

training centres located in Belmont and

Bunbury and offer an effective combination

of theory and practical application.

Visit training.waskills.com for more

information or contact the Corporate

Training Centre on 9227 0999.

Clearing the air: GCG keeps worksites healthyWith more than 50 staff located in offi ces across Australia, GCG Health

Safety and Hygiene is a specialist Occupational Hygiene (OH) and

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) consultancy that works primarily

with mining and heavy industry.

The team effectively measures client

workplace stressors such as noise,

chemicals and the presence of asbestos

and then puts controls in place to ensure

client’s employees are working in safe

environments.

GCG has two labs – located in Perth and

Queensland – in which air samples taken

by fi eld staff at various client sites can be

analysed for dust and asbestos content.

In addition to providing services to clients,

GCG also conducts courses in OH and

also on the measurement and control

of hazardous substances, covering the

basics to an intermediate level.

GCG Client Development Director Dustin

Bennett said the basic OH course could

benefi t a variety of people with different

backgrounds.

“Quite a range of people sit the course,

everyone from engineers to project

managers and a lot of corporate people

do it,” he said.

Currently there are only 100 Certifi ed

Occupational Hygienists (COHs) in

Australia and GCG currently employs

seven of them to ensure students receive

the best training in addition to practical

experience.

“We are the only institution with a lab in

Perth, which students get access to,” Mr

Bennett said.

Upon passing the exam, students

graduate with a certifi cate from the

International Occupational Hygiene

Association (IOHA).

Being a niche industry there is no

Registered Training Organisation (RTO)

training available, so the Occupational

Health Training Association (OHTA) has

developed a number of packages aimed

at companies and sites.

Mr Bennett said GCG was an approved

OHTA course provider.

“We’re one of the few companies in

Australia that has that approved training

provider status,” he said.

“We’re not a RTO but we do deliver a

myriad of other OHS and hygiene training

courses, including asbestos awareness

training, respirator training to Australian

Standard 1715 and hearing protection

training, and we also train client’s internal

staff for respirator fi t testing.”

GCG currently offers training in Perth,

Brisbane, Townsville and overseas with

plans to expand within Western Australia.

“We are looking to deliver in regional areas

such as Port Hedland and Kalgoorlie,” Mr

Bennett said.

Courses start at $1980 including GST.

Start your career in the resources industryThe resources industry is once again experiencing a strong upswing in

Western Australia.

LabTech Training (LTT) Director Linda

Engledow said job seekers looking to make

a start in a laboratory operations role,

should carefully consider pursuing formal

qualifi cations to get the best start.

“Laboratories servicing the resources

industry are telling us that candidates

with a qualifi cation such as a Certifi cate

III in Laboratory Skills are looked upon

more favourably for specialised roles in

laboratories dealing with mineralogy, gold

testing or assay,” she said.

“Specialised roles have the advantage

of more defi ned career paths, with more

opportunity for advancement than many

generalist roles.

“In addition, having a nationally recognised

qualifi cation like a Certifi cate or Diploma

is the sort of thing employers look for as

evidence of skills and interest in pursuing a

career.”

The Construction and Materials Testing

(CMT) sector, servicing major infrastructure

and resource projects around Australia, is

an area with strong demand for qualifi ed

laboratory technicians. New accreditation

requirements in the CMT sector will be

applied by July 2013, making nationally

recognised qualifi cations even more

important.

Pathology, biotechnology, environmental

and food testing fi elds also have a need for

skilled and qualifi ed laboratory staff.

Responding to the demand from job

seekers and employers, LTT now provides

individual learners with further opportunities

to enter the laboratory operations industry

with nationally recognised qualifi cations

from the Laboratory Operations Training

Package (MSL09).

At LTT’s Osborne Park Training Centre,

job seekers with no previous laboratory

experience or qualifi cations can complete

the Diploma program in approximately one-

year full time.

Job Seekers with previous laboratory

experience and qualifi cations can, through

LTT’s recognition of prior learning (RPL)

pathway, enter the Diploma program at the

Certifi cate IV level, thereby completing the

Diploma in 24 weeks.

Job seeker qualifi cation programs start

approximately every six weeks so people

are advised to register soon for upcoming

programs.

Register your interest at ltt.com.au or call

1300 588 588.

Take advantage of the certifi ed skills shortageOver the past decade, the number of Western Australia’s major oil and gas,

mining and construction projects has boomed, creating a huge number of

jobs and causing a labour shortage of certifi ed welders.

“We are dealing with employers on a

daily basis that are looking for guys with

experience and qualifi cations,” co-owner

of the Australian Welding Academy (AWA)

Joanne Olsen said.

The shortage of welders created the

opportunity for talented tradespeople in

the profession to earn signifi cant money –

however, with the mining industry’s stringent

qualifi cation requirements, it has become

increasingly diffi cult to get high-paying jobs

without formal qualifi cations.

“The way the industry is heading, if you do

not have a formal relevant qualifi cation you

will miss out on the best opportunities,” Mrs

Olsen said.

“Everyone wants to get the good paying

jobs and to get them you need to have

the minimum requirements, either trade

qualifi cations – a Certifi cate III – or the coded

welder qualifi cations.”

Mrs Olsen said lots of practicing welders

didn’t realise they could get qualifi cations

without going through the arduous three-year

apprenticeship process, through the AWA’s

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) program,

and it wasn’t only people without the

qualifi cations who could require the course.

“There are a lot of guys from overseas who

fi nd that their qualifi cations aren’t recognised

here and may be eligible for the RPL

process,” she said.

Mrs Olsen said getting the relevant

qualifi cations was a great idea for

tradespeople even if they didn’t currently

need them.

“It’s a relatively small investment in their future

which allows them the potential to open a

multitude of doors that without those formal

qualifi cations will remain closed to them,” she

said.
