  • Peter Phillips

    Peter Phillips began his working life as an apprentice electrical fitter at a large manufacturing plant in Lithgow, NSW. After completing his apprenticeship, he spent over eight years working in various power stations before starting his TAFE NSW teaching career in 1974, where he taught a wide range of electrical subjects in various colleges in NSW. He held numerous teaching and supervisory positions and became involved in curriculum development during the 1990s, when the National Curriculum was being introduced. In 1994, after leaving TAFE NSW, he started a company that offered services ranging from curriculum development to producing training resources. Peter remains actively connected to the electrical industry. He maintains his connections with TAFE NSW and is widely known through his writings and involvement in tertiary education.
