Why Choose Paratus Training
Prepared. Not just trained.
Paratus is a Latin word. It means ready. That’s the standard we hold every course to — not whether a student sat in the room, but whether they’re genuinely capable when it matters.
We deliver high-risk licence and workplace safety training across Western Australia, on-site and at our Bayswater facility. Our scope is specific by design. We don’t try to train everyone in everything.
We train people in the work that carries real risk — and we do it properly.
Paratus Training is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 45274), registered with the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) and operating under the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2025.
Every course we deliver leads to a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment or qualification — issued with a digital signature, unique certificate number, and QR code for employer verification. Your training records are also accessible through your USI account, permanently and at no cost.
That registration carries real obligations. Our training and assessment must meet the national standard for each unit. Our trainers and assessors are qualified and current. Our systems are audited. When you train with us, the piece of paper behind it is legitimate.
All Paratus Training courses are face-to-face. For high-risk licence and safety training, that’s not a preference — it’s a requirement. Competency in these areas has to be demonstrated on real equipment, in real conditions, by a qualified assessor.
We deliver at our Bayswater facility and on-site at client locations across Western Australia — metro and regional. If your workforce is at a fixed site or remote operation, we’ll come to you and work around your operational schedule.
Where a course has a knowledge component that can be completed in advance, we’ll tell you at booking. Everything else happens on the day, in person, with your trainer present.
If something isn’t working — the content, your circumstances, anything else — tell us. Your trainer is available during breaks and after the session. Our admin team is reachable by phone and email within one business day.
Before your course, if you have any concerns about language, literacy, or numeracy requirements, call us early. The earlier we know, the more we can do to make sure you arrive on the day ready and confident.
If we can’t assist you directly, we’ll refer you to the right external service — free of charge and without judgement.
Course materials at Paratus are built around what you actually need to know to pass the assessment and do the job. They’re practical, unit-specific, and written for the industry — not repurposed from generic courseware.
You won’t spend the day clicking through slides. Training is hands-on, with materials that support what’s happening in the room — not replace it. Written assessments are closed book, which means the learning during the day has to do the work. Our materials are designed with that in mind.
Our trainers hold current TAE40122 qualifications and vocational credentials at least as high as the units they deliver. That’s the minimum standard. What sets them apart is that they’ve worked in the industries they teach.
They’ve operated the equipment. They’ve managed the risks. They’ve made the calls your workers will one day face. That industry background isn’t incidental — it’s what makes the training useful rather than theoretical.
All trainers maintain currency through ongoing industry work and professional development. You won’t get someone who last set foot on a worksite ten years ago.
Who we are
Paratus Training (RTO 45274) is led by Catherine Baggio, a compliance and training specialist with more than 25 years of experience in the VET sector. That background shapes everything about how we operate — our systems, our assessments, our trainers, and the standards we hold ourselves to.
We’re registered with ASQA and deliver nationally recognised training under the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2025. When you train with us, the qualification means something.
What We Stand For
Quality
Every course we deliver is measured against the national standard — not an internal benchmark. Our trainers are qualified, our assessments are rigorous, and our materials are built around what workers actually need to know to do the job safely.
Collaboration
We work with site managers, employers, and industry partners to make training fit the operation, not the other way around. On-site delivery, scheduling around shift patterns, and genuine communication before and after the day are part of how we do business.
Responsive
When you have a question, a scheduling need, or a problem on the day, you’ll reach a person. We keep our communication straightforward and our response times short — because your time on site matters.
Integrity
We say what we deliver, and we deliver what we say. That means honest assessment outcomes, transparent fees, and no shortcuts in training that carries real risk. Your workers’ safety, and your organisation’s compliance, depends on it.
What we believe
There’s a line from Rudyard Kipling that sits at the heart of what we do:
“For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.”
It cuts both ways. A team is only as safe as the least capable person on it. And no worker operates in isolation — the people next to you are relying on the fact that you know your job.
That’s why we don’t run tick-and-flick courses.
Our trainers have worked in the industries they teach. They bring that experience into every session.
When your workers leave our training, they should be able to do the job — not just hold a certificate that says they can.
Hands-on delivery. Real equipment, real scenarios, real assessment. Our written assessments are closed book — students need to know the content, not just find it on the day. Practical demonstrations are assessed against the national standard, not a checklist designed to pass people through.
We train in Perth metro and across regional WA. If your workforce is on-site, we’ll come to you.
Our trainers hold current TAE40122 qualifications, relevant vocational credentials, and stay current through ongoing industry work. They’re not career educators who’ve never been on a worksite.
They’ve made the calls your workers will one day have to make.
What we offer
High-risk licence training, workplace safety units, and operational skills — including forklift, scaffolding, rigging, dogging, crane operations, confined spaces, working at heights, EWP, and more.
For leadership and management pathways, we also deliver the Diploma of Leadership and Management and Diploma of Project Management.
The Short Version
We exist to make workplaces safer by making workers genuinely capable. If that’s what you’re looking for in a training provider, we’re worth a conversation.
