They deliver hospitality training and management, and cookery classes.Richard shared the impacts of the pandemic to the business (his staff and students) and the industry. He also shared how the government's assistance (JobKeeper and JobTrainer) helped the business cope, and the strategies they put in place that allowed them to fast track their transition from face-to-face to online delivery for their students.Richard also discussed how they plan to move forward, even with the pandemic, and to continue support for their students locally and internationally.Episode Highlight:Who is Richard and what does he do?For 26 years, Richard has been in the hospitality industry. He is currently the managing director of Quality Training and Hospitality CollegeHis team specialises in hospitality training and management, and cookeryWhat are the impacts of Covid-19 on the business?What are his biggest challenges?Richard says the pandemic is the biggest challenge the company and industry has faced. Student placements and student engagements are specifically the biggest challenges they faceRichard discussed how the JobKeeper program helped their staff and students The pandemic sped up the online platform Richard and his team started developing last year and was launched early May this year. This is an online learning platform for the students."We, like many colleges throughout Australia suspended some of the payments, came up with payment plans and discounts, and we just really tried to assist them [our students] as best we could."What were the issues that came up with the online training?Did Richard have any issues with the transition to online with their students?"Doing the normal face-to-face and transferring that skill to online Zoom classes took a bit, but to be fair, the trainers transitioned incredibly well.""I think when the world is better, getting them [the students] to come back to class on a daily basis is going to be a bit of a struggle."What has been Richard's biggest achievement through this? What is he most proud of?During their last audit, 98% of their students would recommend Richard's company to family and friendsEven with the lockdown and pandemic, Richard's placement team had managed to successfully process work placements for their 105 students "People in Sydney were more reluctant to attend the classes face to face, whereas in Adelaide the response has been about 40 to 50% that returned to the face-to-face classes." Richard said this may be due to geographical and public transport issues in Sydney.Useful Links: Richard Finlayson on LinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/hospitality-cookery-management-trainingQuality Training & Hospitality College on LinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/company/quality-training-and-hospitality-collegeQuality Training & Hospitality College Website: https://www.qthc.edu.au/ Angela Connell on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelatkconnellAngela Connell Website: https://vivacity.com.au/

Over a period of 14 months, Richard Ramirez, aka "Night Stalker," killed 13 people and attempted to kill five more across California. In a span of one year, Ramirez kept LA on edge with his murderous rampages. Today he is known to be one of the most notorious serial killers in history. On today's episode we talk about Richard’s childhood, dark journey into a life of crime and satanism. We also talk about his trial and the women who loved, fought and admired The Death Row Romeo. The paranormal aftermath, we sit down with author Mario Becerra of "Haunted East Los Angeles" as he shares a tale about a family who experienced a dark and negative entity after their son locked eyes with Ramirez during his arrest. What led Richard Ramirez to commit these violent crimes? Was it Nature or Nurture? Or was it something unearthly ? Did Richard imprint a negative force that attacked a family in their East LA home after they locked eyes with the killer? JOIN US! As Hollyweird Paranormal travels back in time for Season 3.

Episode 29 is about the very serious condition of Lycanthropy, also known as being a werewolf. Okay, not the condition itself, but movies about it. Werewolves have had a place in folklore for centuries, so it makes sense that our movies would welcome them. In this episode, Will pans a movie that hasn't even been made yet and explains how to spot a Canadian werewolf movie. Did Richard encounter hippie werewolves in an old mining camp, or were they just growing weed? You’ll get plumbing tips from Jolyon and find out which werewolf movie unwittingly gave us the earliest cinematic instance of “that’s what she said”. This episode feels like a one-way trip into Englishland, but not without meeting Glazed Donut Killa and Cruller Hand Luke. Are you familiar with the naked balloon thief? You soon will be! So, tie yourself to a chair, face that full moon and have an enjoyable listen. Check us out on Instagram, where we are @chewingthescenery or easily find us on Facebook.

Hey Hey Ape fans! This week on Talking Apes TV, Richard makes a connection between Planet of the Apes and another one of his passions, The Monkees (how ironic!). Then we dive deep into River of Flames (aired 10/18/1975). This is the 7th episode and now the half way point in this series of only 13 episodes, 1 less than the live action series. "River Of Flames" Synopsis Krador, the Underdweller, enlists the help of Bill and Jeff to help their world from being destroyed by the suddenly-active volcano. They suspect a trap, however if it is true than Judy will be in danger. Meanwhile Galen and Zira are battling over government funds with Zauis so they don?t go to Urko and his human-hunting agenda. Ape History class begins as we go back in time to visit the Adventures on the Planet of the Apes comic book and Planet of the Apes magazine. You have to give Fox credit for trying so hard to relaunch their ape franchise again and again. Sadly this was also a short lived series that ended after 11 issues in December of 1976. This comic series features colorized reprints of the official movie adaptation of POTA and Beneath the POTA which had been originally printed in Marvel?s POTA Magazine (which ran for 29 issues from 1974-1977 - FEB). Did Mark like this episode? Did Richard like this episode? Which one gave it 29 strikes against it? How many times did they fight during their discussion? Listen and find out. Now Go Ape!

2012 #23: Rasputin Beard - Martin Mor and Ro Campbell. Richard has egg all over his trousers, but it's not the result of experimenting with sex with birds after recent cloacal revelations - he's been competing for an Edinburgh trophy at the Malcolm Hardee Awards. Has he finally won something in Edinburgh? ... No of course not. His guest is Martin 'Bigpig' Mor, an intimidating, but gentle giant and Rasputin lookalike (will he do a show about what it's like to have the same facial hair as an historical figure?) who has worked as a juggler and a knife-thrower, which proved great practice for dealing with hecklers. There is also discussion about whether the gym both men frequent is a good pick-up joint, how all art could be improved by a monkey Jesus and Rich's own first artistic commission. Did Richard get the idea to do a TV show from Stewart Lee? Is there anything that wasn't Stewart Lee's idea? With leafletting-based comedy from Ro Campbell. Only two days from the end - and the 50th RHEFP (rhefp).
