individual,

"I attended several Tafe courses over the years & going by how hey operate i'd say get rid of TAFE altogether...."

I'd say that says more about your application and experience than anything else.

My son-in-law retrained as a soil technician at TAFE and has had excellent work prospects since.

Another friend trained to be an electrician and has since lead teams of electricians up north WA and is now employed on Barrow Island.

Could name heaps more - one trained and head-hunted for a position in Dubai, who's now leading inspections of oil rigs from Singapore.

You're such a sour puss, you wouldn't be interested in seeing success even if you could be bothered looking for it.

Dear Poirot,

I fully agree.

All of our excellent Library-Technicians
received their Diplomas from TAFE. And
I wouldn't exchange them for some
Librarians. They have hands-on practical
experience as well (a requirement of the course)
- and they do great work.

"Payback for Thompson that's all." You demonstrate by this that you believe ICAC to be a lefty inquisition, because your man was snared.

Any level of corruption that keeps the ultra-right in power is OK by you as it's all just ledger squaring, right?

Think about that for a millisecond and interrogate your morality, individual.

Hi there FOXY...

Speaking of attaining qualifications, what is the difference between a Library Technician, and a Liberian ? My own thoughts would suggest that a Liberian possess a Degree ? Or am I barking up the wrong tree ?

barking up the wrong tree ?
o sung wu,
that's a special qualification one can only obtain at TAFE in a job where productivity can't be measured by way of revenue, only in expenditure. :-)

Dear O Sung Wu,

A Library Technician's course is a four year
course at TAFE - they have to also be employed
in a library before they're accepted into the
course at TAFE because "hands-on" experience is
part and parcel of the course.

A Librarian usually has a Bachelor's degree as well
as a Post-Graduate qualification in Librarianship.
