Our mission at Binnacle Training is to enable teachers with quality programs and support at an affordable price point for our schools.
The Program Fee is in consideration for the overall management of each Certificate Program offering (i.e. Dual Qualification offerings and Stand-Alone Qualification offerings) only. First Aid and Short Courses do not incur a Program Fee.
Ongoing support, mentoring and in-servicing of each delivering teacher (Program Deliverer). This includes a dedicated Binnacle Management Team assigned to your school – including Binnacle Program Manager, Administration Officer, and VET Manager.
24/7 access to Binnacle Training’s custom online platform for schools (the Binnacle Lounge). This is the centrepiece for all program resources, learning, assessment and live student progress reporting for all program-related stakeholders at your school (teachers, students, administrators).
A real-time progress report (both class- and student-specific) accessible 24/7 for each Program Deliverer, Program Manager(s) and VET Manager assigned to your school via the Binnacle Lounge.
An individualised support program for each New Deliverer, including custom webinars, check-ins, and Teacher HR support.
Program-specific alerts, reminders, broadcasts and VET/Industry updates – currency!
