Foresite Training

What Foresite Training does

Foresite Training Pty Ltd is a privately-held Australian Registered Training Organisation (RTO Code 22227) founded in 2006, operating from Hallam, Victoria with a second training facility in Laverton North and a Tasmania-based care services extension through the Foresite Care sub-brand. The company is part of the Foresite Group, a three-brand portfolio alongside OnSite Recruitment and Arbortrim Australia, employing approximately 80 team members across the group and serving roughly 5,000 students annually with approximately 1,000 placements into employment per year. Its core offering is the delivery of nationally recognized licenses, tickets, and short courses across four product lines: heavy vehicle licensing (Light Rigid through Multi-Combination, VicRoads accredited), high risk work training (forklift, order picker, elevating work platform under WorkSafe Victoria accreditation), construction plant and civil construction training (excavator, skid steer, backhoe, roller, plus White Card and traffic management), and transport and logistics short courses. The company also delivers longer qualifications including the RII30820 Certificate III in Civil Construction Plant Operations and the 22648VIC Transport and Logistics Employment Pathway.

The business runs on a course-fee revenue model with prices ranging from $165 (White Card) to $2,390 (Heavy Rigid Non-Synchromesh standard), all advertised as GST Free, and it supplements fee-for-service revenue with government-funded training delivered under the Victorian and Commonwealth Skills First Program for eligible individuals. Corporate clients can arrange customized group bookings delivered at Foresite facilities or on-site at employer workplaces, with quote-based pricing for workforce upskilling. The go-to-market motion is hybrid: direct-to-consumer via phone (1300 366 015) and website for individual students; enterprise field sales for employer groups in construction, transport, logistics, and warehousing; and a referral channel through Workforce Australia and DES employment service providers using a dedicated Training Referral Form.

The company distinguishes itself through three operational advantages: an integrated training-plus-recruitment model via sister company OnSite Recruitment that produces a candidate pool and competency-verification capability the company claims no competitor replicates; a Best Price Guarantee on heavy vehicle licensing in Victoria; and a 1:1 instructor-to-student ratio for heavy vehicle training with above-average practical driving time. The company has no proprietary technology platform, no external funding history, no acquisitions or divestitures disclosed, and has relied primarily on organic growth, referrals, and repeat clients since founding.
