Registered training organisation and trainee views in a nutshell
Interviews with registered training organisation staff pointed to the need for a balanced approach to
training. Registered training organisation mentors believed that trainees received a sufficiently broad
and flexible learning experience. Regular contact and a good relationship between not only the
employer and the registered training organisation (where the employer is not a registered training
organisation), and also between the registered organisation and the trainee, were identified by both
parties as essential components of effective fully on-the-job training. Key perceptions held by
registered training organisations and trainees that may contribute to an understanding of how fully
on-the-job training could be improved were identified as follows.
