This week’s member is MRWED MRWED Training & Assessment has bolstered its international expansion with the Singapore Government accreditation of its trainer training program.
It comes as MRWED has been increasing the delivery of its courses in international markets, such as India, Indonesia, Mali, Papua New Guinea and Tanzania.
The accreditation, by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency, means the Singapore Government will subsidise the course fees of eligible employers and individual workers undertaking MRWED’s course.
Founder and CEO Marc Ratcliffe (pictured) says rebounding economies and increasing employment in international markets is fuelling greater demand for trainer training courses.
"After almost four years in the Singapore marketplace, this course approval will provide significant growth for us as it enables participants and employers to access the training at subsided rates,” Ratcliffe says.
"It is not easy to get these approvals and the result signals our steady push into Asia with our unique brand of Trainer Training,” he says.
“Our recent successes overseas build on our position in Australia, where we offer our training through public courses, custom courses, online and correspondence.”
Just last month, MRWED made significant headway with its Indian operations by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Indian-based company Cotmac.
It formalised the firm’s entry into the growing Indian professional development market, having previously conducted a number of training courses in the country.
Ranked 391 in QBR’s 2009 Queensland 400 – a listing of the state’s top privately owned companies – MRWED is Australia’s largest provider of trainer training and has provided training to more than 13,000 people during the past decade.
