About Us

We realise there are a number of Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) which deliver and assess similar training courses and qualification to us.  We believe there are a few reasons which sets us apart from the others:

  1. We customise our courses – we take into account the types of learners on the course and we customise group scenarios and exercises to their work context (at no additional cost).
  2. We do all aspects of the training delivery, assessment, enrolment and issue of certification – no third parties and organisations involved.
  3. We have a clear learning pathway of courses in emergency management from Level 1, to Level 2 to Advanced Diploma.
  4. We deliver and assess throughout every state and territory in Australia, and will deliver internationally if requested.
  5. Our trainers and assessors still work in the field – this means relevant and current industry experience, skills and knowledge applied in your learning.
  6. We ensure fraud protection of our certification.  Our certificate documentation are printed on thermos chromatic (heat sensitive) ink as well as made from unique security paper which prevents the fraudulent reproduction or copying of RTO testamurs and certificates.
  7. FutureWest Institute is an owner-operator organisation, which means you deal direct with the owners providing an intimate, specialised and efficient service.
  8. We are experienced in managing an RTO, including its compliance with relevant Standards and legislation, having previously owned and operated Emergency and Incident Management Services (EIMS) for seven years.
