Cultural Heritage and archaeology in TAFE
Nathan Woolford
taght at the TAFE level? I am thinking specifically about course to
recognise Traditional Owner skill sets. I know there are some out
there like in the Pilbara. Does anyone know of other organisations and
places?
Thanks,

Rio Tinto Iron Ore has been delivering a Traditional Owner Archaeological Assistants Course it is currently delivered as partial accreditation towards a Cert II in Metalliferous mining but I am currently looking at options to re-map to a Land Care Management cert. I am happy to talk offline about our course if needed.
There a few other courses out there that are similar eg UWA delivered one and Flinders University but not sure where the accreditation sat and whether the units went towards a full certificate. Others on the list I am sure can comment on what else is out there. I for one would be interested to hear what else is out there and discuss the pros and cons of the different styles of course.

I don't know where you are or if this is relevant. Aboriginal Affairs Victoria was involved somehow in a TAFE Cert 3 or 4 course that had some cultural heritage components, this was 3 to 5 years ago, I think the certificate was in park management or something similar. Several younger (at least than me) Victorian Aboriginal students were enrolled so they may be able to advise on how effective/useful these courses were. Some of the AAV staff at the time, including me, did some teaching for lessons/modules/courses. I don't know if AAV is still involved in this as most of the staff I knew have moved on, like me, but some on this list might know or be able to give you advice. You could contact AAV and see if they still are involved in these TAFE certificates or have some documentation.
I don't understand what you mean by 'recognise Traditional Owner skill sets'. If you are referring to traditional knowledge and practices passed within an Aboriginal community then it would seem a bit ironic to have this certified and approved by an outside body. However if you are suggesting that Indigenous individuals with extensive experience with Aboriginal heritage sites and a significant knowledge of the natural environment should use these skills and abilities to get certificate, but that the mainstream education environment is often uninviting, then that's an issue that I believe AAV was trying to address.
I suppose this is only useful if you are developing and delivering a course, not if your just looking for something to refer someone to.

Hi
I know that Nikki Stern had some arrangements for the TO field staff on the Mungo ARC project to do CH related training through the local TAFE at Mildura – you could contact Nikki for some more details.

As others have indicated, in Qld you should look into the various
Conservation and Land Management (CALMs) programs delivered by
Registered Training Organisations, including TAFE (though there are
others). These are very flexible programs that can include a
reasonable cultural heritage component. A few years back I worked with
TAFE Qld to have this delivered at Certificate 3 level to Indigenous
rangers at Weipa on Cape York and we built into it a series of modules
on cultural heritage management. The key benefits of this were that it
was low/no cost, we had direct input into the training content and it
was delivered locally. There were some downsides, but I won't share
those on the list. Sue McIntyre (JCU-Cairns) was also heavily involved
in delivery of CH training for rangers in the Cape, though I'm not
sure if she is on this list.
I am currently working with a decent RTO based in Cairns who
specialise in CALMs delivery to Indigenous students with a view to
delivering a CALMs Cert 3 program with a much stronger focus on CH,
though this is very much in its early days. Having said that, the
option offered by UQ and outlined by Annie seems a far more robust CH
program than anything offered by Qld RTOs that I am aware of at
least, and seems like a very good option indeed. I agree there is a
very real need for substantive training in CH that can be delivered in
the context of development or community-based CHM projects.

There are five modules (Introduction to cultural heritge; legislation [focusing on Queensland]; documenting heritage; significance assessment; interpretation and visitor management), with each module requiring a test to enter the next module (kind of like dungeons and dragons - you can't get to the next dungeon without the key/lamp/gem/etc). Once all five modules are completed a certificate will be issued.
