As an instructor you should have a complete understanding of the award, how it works, what you are entitled to etc..

You need to teach your students this too. It is important they enter the industry with a knowledge of their rights so they can make informed choices when it comes to employment. Too many fresh CPL's out there willing to work for nothing. Sure there are times when we have to go above and beyond our job description, but not being compensated for hours of work is not on.

I find some students start training under the delusion that they will be a millionaire by 30. The sooner you show them what they are legally entitled to, the sooner they can develop a mature outlook and expectation to future pay and employment.

I can't believe anyone would complete a CPL, let alone a FIR without knowledge of the award.
