This document was produced by the authors based on their research for the report "Group Training in Australia: A Study of Group Training Organisations and Host Employers", and is an added resource for further information. [Full Report available at ED493992.] Support Document 2, titled " Group Training and Host Employers in Australia", is also available at NCVER's website. The first chapter of the present document describes the survey methodology and provides an overview of the research results. Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive analysis of the previous research on Group Training (GT) and highlights the gaps in the knowledge base which this study is intended to fill. The results of the telephone survey are presented in detail on a thematic basis in Chapter 3. The survey results are supplemented with data from other empirical studies of Group Training Companies and qualitative information from participants in the GT system. The Conclusion, Chapter 4, summarises the key policy implications of the research for the governance of GT in Australia, which are identified throughout the report. The survey data, additional statistical analysis of the data and the survey instrument are presented in the Appendix. (Contains 20 tables and 16 figures.)
