Training Development Manager salaries in Australia

Hello there.... I am a "career transitioning teacher." I am leaving the educational world after 17 years. I plan to transition my skills as a seasoned teacher into a Success Coach/Trainer for the Business world. I am exploring opening a Micro School, as it just seems that with the state of the educational system right now, smaller more focused learning is what will help our younger students grow into the productive global economy we now call life. How are you guys doing?

Does anyone have an in at Disney? I applied for a Development Assistant and as someone with 3 years experience in the industry I'd love to connect with a recruiter about this dream position! I know this is a long shot, but I figured I'd try! Thanks!

I worked as a trainer for a trucking company. I facilitated in-class training and managed continuous learning by creating PPTs and uploading MP4 videos to an LMS. I do not have formal training in instructional design or a college degree, but want to pursue this career. I'm working on learning Articulate and upskilling with other multi media and editing tools, and brushing up on learning methodologies. My concern is the lack of the degree. I have 6+ years experience, but will that be enough?

I'm currently a training coordinator, and want to pivot into entry/mid-level learning & development or instructional design roles. I thought my current experience (2.5 yrs) would help, but I've been applying to tons of jobs with no callbacks. Does anyone have advice on how to break into L&D? If anyone has free/affordable course or certification recommendations, that would be greatly appreciated.
