John Lund

Senior Consultant/Lead Assessor

John Lund brings over 25 years training experience to Corelink.

The second half of this experience has been training adults to become trainers. John was responsible for the Royal Australian Air Force’s Train the Trainer School throughout the 1990s. He converted its ‘Systems Approach’ to Training to ANTA’s ‘Competency Based’ Training Reform Agenda which produced the current Cert IV and Diploma courses in Training and Assessment.

As a development of those changes during the late 1990’s John introduced into the Australian Defence Force, a suite of courses designed to gain civilian accreditation for its leadership and management courses. The accreditation was in Frontline Management.

John’s philosophy in training adults is very simple: adults can and must take responsibility for their learning. The trainer’s role is to remove any barriers that may be coming between the student and the student’s goal. Some typical barriers include: lack of confidence, time constraints, misunderstanding content, lack of direction, insufficient feedback. In short John believes that every student is capable of success, with the appropriate support.

John has graduated literally hundreds of competent trainers, many who came to the course kicking and scratching and terrified at the thought of having to train someone or speak publicly.

Elio Basso

Senior Consultant

Elio Basso brings a 20 year Defence Force background to Corelink. 

Elio's main trade was as an Avionics Technician.  Through his experience in training his fellow peers, he was transferred to the specialist field of instruction, instructional development and course design.  He understands that adults like to learn at their own pace and that they also like to be responsible for their own learning. 

With this in mind, Elio has developed and trained courses utilising the skills and knowledge of participants.  He has also developed and implemented strategies which ensured that course participants are encouraged to use a variety of senses to learn. 

He is very good at encouraging a very critical thinking approach in order to have participants self evaluate, which in turn means they become responsible for their own learning and thus accept responsibility for their actions.

Elio has managed large adult training units within the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), Globaltech Training Solutions, and other organisations within Australia and around the World. Elio’s qualifications include an Advanced Diploma of Management, Aircraft Maintenance Engineering – Avionics, a Diploma of Frontline Management, a Diploma of Training and Assessment Systems (BSZ50198), Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training (BSZ40198) and Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAA40104).

He has authored the book ‘The Power of Many’ which provides for the Royal Australian Air Force a leadership and management model that focuses on people rather than processes.

Gary’s approach to the learning environment is to make it dynamic, flexible and fun, ensuring that the learning is remembered long after the training course is finished.
