A Cert II course generally runs for 12 weeks, however, there is no assurance that Aspirants will retain in the course for 4 months as we cannot use compliance to get them to stay and attend the course. Whereas a Cert II course only runs for 7 weeks obtaining 1 machinery ticket (excavator) only and Work Safety Induction or White Card, however, to motivate and increase Aspirants’ engagements Real Futures has organised and liaised with Training Alliance that Real Futures to assist Aspirant’s with an extra 3 Machinery tickets (Loader, Skid Steer, Roller) for the costs of $759.00 per Aspirants if they completed the 7 weeks and are motivated to complete another 5 days training to obtain the other 3 machinery tickets.

Regional Manager Sean Challis has requested that Training Alliance offer the free tickets to the CCC Students as the school has no approved funding to pay for the other machinery. Sean was successful in convincing Training Alliance Management to help the CCC students, which will help these young students have more opportunities in the future.
