Our Story
About us
With more than 40 years of experience in the operation of highly regulated waste businesses, complying with Victoria’s environmental laws, the team behind SQPT’s courses are environmental specialists.
We are a team of experienced environmental professionals dedicated to providing high-quality training for facilities operating under EPA Victoria A13c registrations. Our courses are designed to ensure your operations comply with the latest environmental regulations and best practices. We understand the complexities of waste management and are committed to equipping you with the knowledge and skills needed to maintain a safe and compliant workplace.
Our Story
Founded by the team behind the highly respected environmental advisory firm, Circular Resources Australia (CRA), SQPT specialises in offering high-level guidance and assistance to industry and government organisations.
SQPT has developed our online training business to revolutionise education within the waste and recycling industry.
Our core vision is simple: to provide better, more accessible education to our industry and related sectors. Historically, specialised training has often been costly, geographically restrictive, and inconvenient due to travel and scheduling demands. This has created barriers, limiting professional development and slowing the adoption of critical best practices, environmental standards, and new technologies across the sector.
Our online training tears down those barriers. Our platform delivers high-quality, focused, and up-to-date courses that professionals can access anytime, anywhere. Our model supports continuous learning, helps compliance, and allows companies to train their teams efficiently, regardless of location or operational shifts.
We believe that an educated workforce is safer, more efficient, and better equipped to comply with strict environmental protection laws, necessary for a succesful future in waste management and resource recovery.
By making essential training both accessible and affordable, SQPT is not just selling courses; we are investing in the collective expertise and long-term sustainability of the entire waste and recycling ecosystem.

Why online learning?
Online learning is the Future of Education
Online learning is a great way to learn due to its flexibility, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness.
It removes the barriers of time and travel, allowing individuals to study at their own pace and on their own schedule.
Crucially, it makes high-quality, specialised training available to people in remote locations or where they can;t easily make it to a training location.
This universal access enables consistent compliance, reduces expensive travel for training, and empowers a geographically dispersed workforce with the knowledge they need to be safer and more efficient.
More than 6 million students are currently in online courses as part of an education program
This significant figure highlights the mainstream adoption of online learning within higher education. Over six million students are actively pursuing their academic goals through digital platforms, demonstrating the widespread acceptance and accessibility of this educational model.
Almost half of all students enrolled in online courses are educated exclusively through distance education
This statistic underscores the growing preference for fully online learning experiences. Nearly half of all students taking online courses do so entirely through distance education, indicating a strong demand for the flexibility and autonomy that complete online programs offer.
85% of students think that online learning is the same or better than the traditional classroom experience
This overwhelming majority opinion directly challenges traditional perceptions of online learning. The fact that 85% of students rate their online learning experience as equal to or superior to the traditional classroom highlights the effectiveness and evolving quality of digital education.
