ABOUT US

Dickens Assessment and Training Services (DATS) was established by Director Malcolm Dickens.
Malcolm has a wealth of experience with construction equipment and earthmoving equipment as well as
years of experience in the construction industry.  With this experience and Malcolm’s passion for training
and assessing, he recognised that there was a need for properly skilled and trained people in the Construction,
Resources, Transport and Mining Industries.

​

Thus Malcolm commenced a privately owned Registered Training Organisation (RTO), Dickens Assessment
and Training Services in 2007 and has been providing quality training and assessments for individual students,
industry and the vocational education and training (VET) sector.
