Centre for Excellence in Rail Training

Centre for Excellence in Rail Training (CERT) has been using PowerPro RTO for AQTF compliance and records management for five years.  In this time we have seen the software grow from a rudimentary database into a powerful software product that is simple to be operated by all our staff regardless of their computer skills.  PowerPro has afforded CERT the ability to continue business without the need for extensive training that is realised in today's employment market of staff turnover.

PowerPro features an uncomplicated interface that provides rapid retrieval of student and client records enabling a seamless administrative flow of training management from initial enrolment through to certificate production.  Additional features such as student roll and reporting of outcomes further enhances the capability of our business to supply quality products to our clients.

CERT has benefited from our association with Vidatek through development and customisation of our PowerPro database to streamline our processing of information and respond to changes within our industry.  Vidatek has responded to all requests for improvements to the system and provided excellent advice that is backed by a thorough knowledge of not only software solutions but extensive training and accreditation experience.

PowerPro RTO is not only AVETMISS compliant, but maintains currency through constant contact by Vidatek with Training Accreditation Councils to negate problems for PowerPro RTO users.

Our business has multiple offices in other states; all CERT offices access the same database through a remote server that affords multiple benefits such as;

• active version control
• effective backup and access of information
• efficient auditing tool for our compliance officer
• single point of access for Vidatek remote assistance
• cost effective means for IT department control/maintenance

Vidatek provides an Innovative, Cost Effective yet Flexible solution to our RTO.  The improvements to our business through ongoing support and training related advice, in addition to the PowerPro RTO database will ensure Vidatek will be viewed as integral partner to our business.

I am writing to say how pleased we are with “POWER PRO RTO”.

Your program was recommended to us by an acquaintance in another training organisation and we started using POWER PRO RTO to manage our training records over 12 months ago. Right from the first time we used it we found it easy to use and the more we use it, the more we are convinced that it suits us and our organisation! Even our new Administration Assistant has had no trouble learning to use the program and often remarks how simple it is!

You have always been available to assist us with any queries about the program and we have found that your regular updates have resulted in the program being further enhanced and more user friendly!

Our decision to commission Vidatek to build our new website was based on the high level of service you provided to us (related to POWER PRO) and we are also very happy with how that has turned out.

We value the on going support you continue to provide and look forward to continuing the relationship between our organisations.

PRO SKILLS

When I purchased Power Pro RTO program early in 2007 I could not find much information from other users. I was impressed with the program when I run the trial version and the support offered was what I was looking for. I purchased the program based upon the results of the tests I did with the trial version and the excellent communication I received before purchase.
 
We have been using Power Pro RTO since April 2007. In March 2008 we had a trainer who caused a Complaints Audit by DETA. When the Auditors evaluated our systems they spoke very highly of our systems (part of this was the Power Pro RTO program) and how we manage our information.
 
The use of Power Pro RTO program has allowed us to manage all our clients and courses with one system. We have single unit courses, full qualifications and credited courses in our scope. It is very easy to locate all the information on courses and clients. Reprinting of qualifications is a very simple process using Power Pro RTO. The best part of the Power Pro RTO program is the support service given by staff from Vidatek. When we have any problems with our system the support provided by login is excellent.
 
I would highly recommend the Power Pro RTO program to any RTO that was considering a Management System for their organisation. Power Pro RTO is more then a Database, it is a system that can manage all information for the RTO making the preparation for Audits very simple.
 
Jason, I thank you and your staff for such an excellent program. The support we have receive has exceeded all my expectations.
