Philljenn was established in 1999 by Phil Colebourne and Jenny Colebourne to provide training & assessing in the mining industry and in the Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) prescribed occupations.

It had been identified that there was a shortage of training available for employees in industry, particularly in remote areas, for cranes, dogging, rigging and scaffolding.  As Phil Colebourne had extensive experience in these areas, the decision was made to set up Philljenn and provide this service.

In July 2007 the process for obtaining licences for prescribed occupations required the training & assessment to be undertaken through the VET sector (Vocational Education, Training & Employment Sector).  As a result of this , the decision was made for Philljenn to become a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) so as to be able to continually meet their clients needs.

Phil Colebourne has over 20 years experience in the mining & construction industry.
