To-Plate Training is a learning community that strives to strengthen the capacities and capabilities of Australian businesses and industries.
Striving to transform your capabilities
To-Plate Training is a learning community that strives to strengthen the capacities and capabilities of Australian businesses and industries. To-Plate’s training is designed to identify and build the skills required to achieve a businessโs vision.
Through a process of review and skill-building, our training takes a cohort of independent business and industry leaders through short, focused training.
Training is often not a priority for Australian producers, however, they sometimes require commercial assistance as they scale and grow their passions to a greater audience. To-Plate training focuses on zooming out of the day-to-day in order to effectively reach commercial goals, while still protecting the integrity of their brand and products.

How We Train
Developed as a partnership with Cahoot Learning, To-Plate training offers immersive, flexible and community-based online training.
Community: Cahoot helps foster relationships between peers from diverse backgrounds, allowing learners to understand different commercial perspectives and apply new solutions. Other online courses fall short when participants are isolated, looking at outdating theory and receive no feedback.
Immersive experience: Learners are constantly engaging with others, solving problems, introduced to case studies, current business problems and have the right tools to interact with their cohort.
Thought Leaders: To-Plate training focuses on the reality of business building and skill-building. Our thought leaders are real practitioners with commercial experience in domestic and international businesses. They will share applicable case studies to support participants in their journey.
Why Cahoot?

Collaborative learning that builds capability and shifts mindsets
Engagement is a precondition for effective learning. Yet many programs today are still developed traditionally, focusing on content overload with minimal input from the learner.
Cahoot is changing that by creating a transformative digital learning experience through learner-centred designed programs that foster relationships between peers to drive effective outcomes.

“The mentoring made me realise I am not quite ready to export just yet, but I feel that I have a head start in getting myself mentally prepared if that is the direction I would like to take the business. In addition, the ability to really get clear about my business and dig deep is invaluable. I have really enjoyed my experience and would highly recommend to others..“
