Welcome to Contextualised Learning Resources, your expert partner for navigating the Standards for RTOs 2025. We help Australian Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) thrive, removing compliance headaches, saving trainers time, and delivering career-ready graduates to local businesses crying out for talent.

Check out our new Trainer PD Podcast

We’ve started 2 playlists, and have a number of other short videos developed to help startup businesses and Solopreneurs.

We are just getting started, but you can subscribe to our YouTube Channel now to get a head start:

Saved by the bell (podcast): we interview industry experts for you and ask “What do over 50s business owners struggle with, and what can we teach kids at school to help them overcome this?”

Business Networking Expert Talks

We understand you would like to get out there and talk to people in your industry. Not only to update your knowledge of current industry practices, but also as a social engagement, particularly if you have a passion for helping out local small businesses.

But experts at the top of their game don’t have much time to chat, and they certainly don’t have time to map their talks to the units you are delivering for your trainer matrix.

Now you don’t have to miss out, we do that for you.

Your Own SIM Business, Done For You!

Let’s face it… How realistic is a gym that is not 24/7, and still letterbox drops in a post-COVID economy driven by AI in this day and age?

Wouldn’t you rather have a simulated business from the industry that makes up 1 out of every 6 businesses in Australia?

We set up Local Home and Garden Repairs as a simulated business for training as a “marketing Co-Op”. It was so realistic that we “accidentally” did over $5000 in customer work in the first financial quarter that we launched the business online. just to prove to students how simple it was to start your own business.

You can use our business, or we can create your own SIM business for you, as this is what the Inception Network was created to do. For more information on the type of business we could start up for you, check out the Business Model Canvas for Local Home and Garden Repairs on the Inception Network Website HERE.

Want More?

We can also do customised 1/2 and full-day workshops at a very affordable group rate.

Your team can learn how to implement over 100 tools used to plan, start, market, and scale up businesses across any industry you can think of.

Check out our blog on the Inception Network Website for ideas developed from coaching sessions with hundreds of business owners and thousands of students over the past 7 years.

Free Industry Currency Online Courses for Clients

You don’t get the skills you need from watching videos, and there’s no point upgrading your resources if your trainers don’t know how to deliver them.

We’ve got you covered. Trainers, Assessors, and teachers can access courses on our customer-built LMS. Developed by our business startup partners at Inception Network.

Get the confidence you need to better engage learners, with coaching sessions on using common (and now mostly free) business technology.

Including the tools your students can use to start and market their own contractor business, plus workforce planning to sustainably grow micro-businesses (currently with 4 or fewer employees), which make up 90% of all businesses in Australia.

Rocket Launch your students’ careers, and they can start earning money and use this experience to help them progress faster in the course you deliver.

Have something to give back to the next generation entering the workforce?

We are looking for podcast guests!

You can promote your business and client success, but this is not about selling what you do. The audience is not in your client market.

It is about building your authority as an expert in your profession, raising the bar and setting quality benchmarks and employer expectations for graduates of a qualification. Real-world experience of what works. Our audience gets enough of the “theory” already at their work.

Sound like you?

Apply (confidentially) via email at help@clresources.com.au, and tell us what the one thing is that you are best known for as an industry expert in whatever you do.

We are not looking for generic business advice; we are looking to map what you do to specialty units in the Diploma of Business to start to help trainers comply with their mandatory PD requirements, so we need very specific information from you.
