SAAS / Re: RSDP?
« on: October 08, 2013, 10:47:41 AM »
Does anybody know if the RSDP is still going? It's not on the SAAS website anymore...assuming it may have been axed?!
Also would like to speak to anyone who has been through the RSDP.

Does anyone have anything else they would like to share re. RSDP??
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has been through the process..?

That probably wouldn't be a bad idea as I know there are some regional areas that are really struggling for numbers eg. Whyalla.
My only concern with that is weather those interns will stay in the country?! I think the idea behind the RSDP was to get country people signed up and committed to a town for 5 years then hopefully they will stay there, which is not a bad idea providing they do hang around.

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?

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.

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
