Profile of Founder

Ray Earl is Founder and CEO of Skynet Corporation Pty Ltd.

A brief reflection of some of Ray’s qualities, qualifications and experience, the combination of which, are the basis of this company.

Ray has had extensive experience in business, through acquisitions and green fielding, having owned and operated more than ten successful business operations in the last 20 years.

Ray has also held management positions to CEO level with several medium to large Companies in the vocations of Education, Engineering Management and Information Technology where his positions were to look at ways to increase efficiencies, develop systems, streamline production, project management, staff training and development and continuous improvement (not exhaustive by any means).

Early in 1999, Ray Earl established Skynet Corporation Pty. Ltd. as an Information Technology Support Company. As the business grew it was decided to diversify into the area of training & assessment, business consultation, facilitation and quality management system development. Skynet Education was created and a platform for the delivery and development of quality training and service delivery in a flexible manner was born.
Working with a dedicated group of trainers, facilitators and business consultants, Ray has developed a committed quality training company, with an established client base, and an ever-expanding range of quality training products and service consultation. The primary goal is to provide innovative learning and quality training products to help clients and individuals meet their goals.

Ray is an avid writer and has written a number of articles on training and assessment, eBooks and management consulting. In addition, Ray began developing policies, procedures and associated documentation aligned to AQTF for his own previous RTO - his RTO always passed audits. A few RTOs asked to use his documentation - at this point Ray realised there was a potential market for his quality product. He went on to develop several iterations of AQTF through to AQTF Essential Conditions and Standards for Initial/Continuing Registration - How To Meet The Standards CD. The product range increased to include: The VRQA Guidelines - How To Meet Them CD and CRICOS materials for International Colleges. His latest project was the development of the VET Quality Framework Quality Management System which will include policies, procedures and forms in line with the VQF including legislative instruments. Ray also developed and facilitated, the VET Quality Framework - Legislative Instruments and Risk Management Brief which he delivered during August and September 2011 to more than 300 RTOs all over Australia. He also facilitates the workshop titled: Auditing at the Coal Face, throughout Australia.

Ray states that:
“Continual education of ones self is the only way of ensuring security of your future, whether you own your own business or are working for someone else…”
Ray walks the talk, has worldly practical experience in all facets of business and holds a Masters Degree in Entrepreneurship and Innovation received from the Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship at Swinburne University and a Masters Degree of Education. Ray has worked as a sessional lecturer at Swinburne University and states, "I enjoy breathing life into my lectures by providing real life experiences, this is something that you can't find in a text book. The students are always being challenged and in turn they challenge me, which is a fantastic learning experience."
Ray previously worked as Manager for Innovation and Projects at RMIT where he set up a AQTF division for Internal Auditing, he also managed several other departments including quality and curriculum for the School of Engineering TAFE. Ray then moved into a role as CEO of a National RTO with campuses in two States, he remained in that role for just over 2 years.
