Often a candidate’s Qualification is the only evidence that they possess the technical knowledge and skills requirements to conduct themselves professionally as an authorised representative. Unfortunately, this can not be said for all training providers.

With a RG 146 Training Australia qualification you have confidence in the fact that you will be equipped with the skills and knowledge gained from a credible industry-endorsed program that employs best practice assessment standards, helping you graduate at the leading edge of your chosen field.

“RG146 Training Australia simply makes our lives easier. Their professional problem-solving approach allows us to focus on other parts of the business; safe in the knowledge that RG146 graduates have what is takes to provide our clients with sound and accurate advice.” Charles Cavallaro, Professional Development Coordinator, Asgard, Securitor, St George
