Chemène Sinson has been a leading consultant and facilitator for the VET Development Centre (VDC) for the past decade.
Chemène is a consummate Emcee, and the established host of the VDC annual VET National Teaching & Learning Conference. Chemène not only engages in the program but leads and becomes a part of it through applying her extensive Vocational Education and broader communication engagement knowledge and skills.
In addition, Chemène develops and facilitates professional learning programs for the VDC on behalf of the Victorian Government and the VDC Professional Learning Program in the areas of teacher facilitation, and student assessment and engagement.
I could not recommend a more empathetic, committed, collegial and engaging professional.
Chemène played a key role in shaping our competency project, bringing deep assessment insight and practical application. Her ability to engage with stakeholders, challenge assumptions, and translate complexity into clear, actionable direction had a measurable impact on the quality of our work. A highly valuable partner for any organisation focused on education and workforce capability.
Presentation feedback
Most conferences are boring because they have boring speakers talking about boring topics. Not so for the conference I saw Chemène speaking at. Chemène delivered a fresh, to-the-point, engaging, memorable and meaningful keynote that gave all the attendees valuable tools to take and apply at work. Great keynote speaker for your next event.
One of my fav presenters every time.
This was really wonderful - a very well-designed and facilitated session - lots of useful strategies and a refreshing take on psychological safety.
Amazing presenter. Very interesting and thought-provoking.
Outstanding!
Chemène Sinson, absolutely loved your talk! It was both hilarious and deeply insightful. Most importantly, it reminded us of the core message: "Remember why you are doing it!
Great session.
I was inspired by the insights shared by Chemène Sinson … Chemène encouraged us to rediscover why we do what we do as trainers and assessors.
Chemène is an excellent presenter!
Your voice and charisma had a beautiful presence in the room.
Short sharp and engaging.
Chemène, I learnt so much from your presentation. Even though I have been delivering TAE for too many years I care to count, there were many tips I have taken away and want to share with my learners. Additionally, the way you presented taught me a multitude of skills to practice and share with my learners...thank you!
Entertainment at its best while teaching.
Absolutely fantastic!! Chemene made a seemingly simple and ordinary topic revolutionary. I had so many "aha!" moments in her talk and took away lots of things to implement in my own practice immediately. Her session was a definite game changer, more so because I wasn't expecting it to be. Fantastic session Chemène.
An enjoyable session with some interesting reflections.
Chemène Sinson's session was not only engaging and fun, it was very informative.

Chemène was fantastic. She knew how to engage with the class on not just a professional level but personally, which made learning about the course and content interesting. Would recommend any course if she was the facilitator!

Thank you very much Chemene, your lessons were invaluable and an incredible experience.
Overall fantastic. Great pacing and content. Audience engagement was fantastic. Insightful feedback.
Great at storytelling and very approachable, clear with setting expectations and gathering expectations.
I liked that she took the time to assess where the room was at, and what would be the most helpful.
Chemene practices what she preaches! and this makes it very easy to learn. Chemene was welcoming and engaging from the moment we stepped into the classroom. We covered topics that were relevant to our class and in a way that was relevant to our work situations. I would work with Chemene again in a heartbeat!
Chemene is an outstanding facilitator who keeps the class engaged and interactive throughout, offering constructive feedback that is both positive and encouraging.
MC feedback
An amazing job (as always) by Chemène Sinson as MC. Chemene is always professional and impressive in this role.
