RSDP?

(1/3) > >>

CountryKid:
Hi guys....I'm hoping someone can educate me a little with regards to the RSDP program? Has anyone been through the process and what are your thoughts?

I'm currently a Vollie with SAAS, and heard about this program a while ago but recently heard some negative feedback and was told it's not worth pursuing?!

Appreciate any comments, positive and negative!  :-D

Alan (Big Al):
One of my best mates is 4 years into his RSDP and loves it.
I know it wasnt easy to get into and you have to be prepared to go anywhere to do it.

My own opinion how could it not be worth it? On the job training, getting paid to learn and a garunteed job at the end of it.
Surely better than doing the degree with little on road experience and no garunteed job after graduation.

What was the negative feedback you heard?

CountryKid:
Thanks for the comment Big Al....and I'm glad your mate is enjoying it!
I agree...on the job/on road is a fantastic way to learn - especially for someone like me who has been out of school for 10 years already, I think I would find it difficult to go to uni full time :-s

The negative feedback was related to the shortlisting of applicants process (pretty much how and who gets into the course). I was told it's very difficult to get in?!
Do you know the criteria for applying for the RSDP?
I have no problem with moving anywhere in the state, afterall it's paid training for a highly qualified profession and I think you need to come into these kinds of opportunites with an open mind.

crossy:
Minnium 2 years as a cert4... It sounds like it won't be around for much longer though..

CountryKid:
Thanks Crossy...I thought it was a minimum if 2 years. Why do you think it won't be around for much longer? Have past recruits not been successful?
