New Partners are required to invest in their business with a Pre-paid System Credit of $500.00. This pre-payment to your account is toward your student course completions in your first year. This $500 is the minimum commitment to your business.
We do have an expectation that you will deliver training to a minimum of 100 students every year.
Allens Training Pty Ltd (90909) is compliant with the ASQA guidelines. Once a partner, you will be provided our marketing and advertising guidelines for detailed information.
You pay per student you train, and the price is dependent on the course. All fees and charges associated with being a partner, including access to resources and systems are incorporated into this single completion fee.
Allens Training has over 180 different course types that can be offered through our Partnerships. The fees assoicated with being a partner are all incorporated in the "completion price", this is the fee charged per competent student. Each differnet course type has a specific completion price.

Partners are provided with resources required to deliver training, such as a facilitator guide with session plan and assessment guide, PowerPoint presentations, written and online student assessments, etc as relevant to the course.
We have formed arrangements with several organisations from a range of industries so they can deliver training in-house via a partnership program. This is a great cost saving measure when you are training large numbers of employees. Allens Training Pty Ltd has the systems and processes in place to support such an arrangement. It also ensures consistency of training across an organisation.
To assist our Partners and Trainers to meet ASQA requirements, Allens Training Pty Ltd provides regular professional development opportunities for its trainers. Opportunities include workshops, courses, online courses, conferences and several other activities throughout the year.
Although we require our trainers to have a commitment to ongoing professional development, we have implemented processes and opportunities to make the process relatively stress free. In particular, we hold a national conference for Allens Partners and Trainers. This is always a great event.
Although approved Allens Training Pty Ltd Partners and Trainers have yearly professional development obligations, we do not make attending our events mandatory. As long as you demonstrate meeting your professional development requirements each year, we are happy!
You will only require Public Liability Insurance, not Professional Indemnity insurance. Your Public Liability insurance needs have $10 million coverage. As a business partner, we are unable to recommend an insurance broker for your business insurance. However, we do encourage you to seek several quotes to compare.
The first thing to do is check our partner checklist to ensure you meet all the requirements. You also need to be qualified in the courses you wish to deliver training. Once you have met these requirements, you complete our online application form. We will then be in touch within 2-3 business days to take you through the next steps.

Importantly, ASQA state that delivering training and assessment in a workplace does not constitute the development of current industry skills.
