Fire Management Training for Tasmania:
In 2023 Timber Training Creswick developed and ran a pilot program for Certificate II in public safety (firefighting operations). The program involves four days of theory delivery with some practical followed by work placement requirements for participants to get real experience over the fire season.
Cutting Edge Program- Queensland
A new 2-day Sector Commander training program has been developed and a pilot program is scheduled for February.
In conjunction with Timber Queensland’s Canopy project (funded by DESBT) Timber Training Creswick has been delivering industry pre-employment training based on the FIVE+5 model developed by the Arbre Forest Industry Training and Careers Hub in Tasmania.
The program uses local job seeker networks to pre-screen potential employment candidates who then undertake 5 days of structured theory training followed with 5x5hour shifts of work placement.
For a pre-employment program, this course has an impressive completion and subsequent employment rate.
Certificates III and IV in Timber and Wood Product Operations:
From January Timber Training Creswick has commenced delivery of these new programs which have amalgamated the previous industry sectors of Sawmilling, Timber Manufactured Products and Wood Panel Products. The new Certificates will be available via both block release and on site delivery where there are sufficient student numbers.
Cadet Forester (CFP) and Next Generation of Harvesting Operators (NextGen)
2023 saw the pilot group of Next Generation Harvesting Operators complete their Certificate II in Forest Operations. A new group of School based trainees is ready to commence the 2024 program and TTC looks forward to helping them prepare for a career in the industry. The Cadet Forester Program is now in it’s sixth year and four graduates from earlier programs have now completed their Certificate IV in Forest Operations whilst working in industry.
