When was the last time you had to supply a tradie with a new White Card because they couldn’t find the original?
If we guessed correctly, and it was more recently than you’d like, you understand just how frustrating it can be to manage constant replacements while also keeping up with the task of training and supplying tradespeople with compliance tickets and certificates.
The world of compliance training is evolving rapidly, and trade professionals must keep up with the latest trends in order to remain efficient (and in business).
With several regulatory updates per year, technological advancements (didn’t you hear the world has gone digital?!), and shifting workforce expectations, staying ahead of the curve is more crucial than ever for training providers.
Let’s explore the key compliance training trends and how trade industry professionals can adapt to the future of trade education.
1. The Rise of Digital and On-Demand Training
The Trend:
Traditional classroom training is dead and being replaced by online, mobile-friendly, and on-demand learning solutions. This shift allows tradies to upskill at their own pace without disrupting their work schedules. If you business isn’t offering at least a hybrid learning option, it may be time to rethink how you deliver your courses.
How to Stay Ahead:
- Invest in digital compliance training platforms to allow tradies to access and manage their training anytime, anywhere. Take Crane Class for example, a digital platform providing construction professionals with the knowledge and expertise they need to succeed in the crane & heavy lifting industry.
- Leverage micro-learning—short, focused training sessions that improve retention and engagement.
- Incorporate interactive content, such as quizzes and video tutorials, to make learning more engaging. Take it one step further by bringing tradies on-site to let them get stuck in.
2. Keeping Up with Regulatory Changes
The Trend:
Compliance regulations in Australia are constantly changing, requiring businesses and tradies to stay informed and up to date.
How to Stay Ahead:
- Subscribe to compliance updates from Safe Work Australia.
- Provide regular refresher courses and ongoing
- Encourage your students to also stay up to date (remember, compliance is their responsibility) by using digital tools to ensure they receive notifications about expiring certifications and tickets.
3. Upskilling in Trades to Meet Industry Demand
The Trend:
With evolving safety regulations and new technologies entering the trade industry, upskilling is essential for career growth and business success.
How to Stay Ahead:
- Encourage tradies to continuously update their skills with specialised compliance courses.
- Partner with other RTOs and platforms like Tradie Pass to make training more accessible.
