Every step of the way
We have been operating as a training company since 2011 and from the very outset, we have taken an innovative approach to all aspects of our student needs and expectations. Foot in the Door Training has been built on the basic principles of:
- Exceeding expectations
- Creating an environment where students feel safe and comfortable
- Encouraging students to gain lifelong skills and memories
We have always exceeded our KPI’s with well over 65% of our students gaining employment within 3 months of completion, most of which are directly from their work experience venue. Our last ASQA audit received a 100% compliant result and we are considered a very low risk RTO. Over 90% of our students complete the training and to date we have a 100% student satisfaction rate.
We allow students to practice their skills until they feel confident, this reduces the amount of pressure placed on them and results in a learning environment that is based on soaking up knowledge and skills over an individualised timeframe. We often find students keep returning to our training rooms after completion as they miss the course!
We believe that the opportunity of successfully completing a qualification or life skill, of gaining self-confidence, in meeting new people, in creating a sense of achievement are all great motivators to complete one of our courses. We are focused in specific areas such as hospitality, retail, individual support, skill sets, employment assistance and life skills to ensure we give our students the best possible outcomes. We are constantly updating our materials and our trainers’ knowledge and skills so we may pass these on to our students creating an informed and highly skilled individual. We care about each and every one of our students. We develop a fantastic rapport and encourage students to give us updates on their progress well after course completion. Our trainers take the time to show sensitivity and respect when communicating with students.
