What Asset Training does

Asset Training is an Australian Registered Training Organisation (RTO No. 91255), operating as a dedicated training division of Aqua Assets Pty Ltd, a private hydro excavation and non-destructive digging contractor. Established in 2006 and headquartered in Broadmeadow, NSW, the company delivers Nationally Recognised Training (NRT) under the Australian Qualification Framework, with courses aligned to Australian Standards including AS4233.1 2013, WSA 02 2014, WSA 05 (Conduit Inspection Code), and SafeWork NSW guidelines. Its portfolio spans four functional categories: industrial maintenance and cleaning (High Pressure Water Jetting Operator/Assistant, Vacuum Loading, Drain Cleaning, Hydro Excavation), wastewater management and CCTV conduit inspection (NWPNET037, NWPNET059, NWPNET017), work health and safety (White Card, Confined Space Entry, Safe Work at Heights), and first aid response (CPR, Provide First Aid). Refresher courses are mandatory every two years under AS4233.1 2013, creating a recurring revenue loop from the installed base of certified operators.

The company operates three physical training academies — Broadmeadow NSW (HQ), Chipping Norton NSW (Sydney region), and Wingfield SA (Adelaide region, established 2024) — supplemented by onsite delivery anywhere in Australia for group bookings. Distribution combines direct phone/email sales (1300 410 410), a self-serve online enrollment portal (assettrainingenrol.com.au), industry event participation (e.g., No-Dig Down Under 2022), and long-standing memberships with five industry bodies (Master Plumbers NSW, AUSJET, ADCVA, ASTT, WIOA). Course fees range from A$75 (CPR, group bookings only) to A$2,595 (CCTV Combined Supervisor/Operator), with the core industrial maintenance courses priced at A$810–A$1,310 and predominantly collected on a prepaid basis.

Asset Training serves utilities and municipalities (water utilities, councils, network operators), industrial services contractors (HPWJ, drain cleaning, vacuum loading, confined space), property developers and construction firms requiring non-destructive digging training, and government organisations requiring general construction safety certification. Customer-facing differentiators include nearly 20 years of domain focus on wastewater management, trainers with 30+ years of combined field experience, Australia's first online Drain Cleaning Refresher course (launched July 2021, 2022 Hunter Safety Award winner), and an integrated curriculum that leverages live operational expertise from parent company Aqua Assets. The company has earned six Hunter Safety Award nominations with two wins (2019, 2022) and currently lists 99 upcoming courses on its public calendar, supported by a team of approximately 13 employees.
