Austal Staff Participate in Recreational Skippers Ticket Course
Project Date: October 2006
In the true Austal spirit of "our people being our greatest asset" Austal decided to make life a little easier for those staff requiring their Recreational skippers Ticket (RST)
Austal teamed with Challenger TAFE to provide a quick, easy and economical solution for workers.
Challenger TAFE staff came to the yard to host the theory section of the RST. The Practical assessment was held at Challenger TAFE's classroom in Fremantle with the boats also provided by TAFE.
Austal staff were also eligible for a RST discount. The theory section was discounted to $35 instead of the normal price of $55 and the practical component was $120 instead of $175.
A fantastic total of 90 Austal employees signed up for the first assessment held at Austal in October 2006 and, of those, 64 people have already passed and obtained their ticket. A total of 21 Austal employees signed up for the second assessment held at Austal in December 2006.
