“The packaging industry is an exciting industry; it is dynamic, fun, highly technical, and always changing.“I recommend the Diploma in Packaging Technology to anyone in the packaging industry wanting to improve their packaging knowledge and I am looking forward to completing more studies in this area.”
Sarah Squire Dip.Pkg. Tech. MAIP
(winner of the inaugural Harry Lovell Award)
“Undertaking the Diploma in Packaging Technology has been an invaluable help to me throughout my career in Food Safety & Quality Auditing, R& D and QA roles because packaging is an integral, yet often under-estimated component to the final product. I would encourage anyone working in the food industry to undertake this course as it is surprising how often this investment in my career has allowed me to better perform in my work.”
Neryl Allison Dip.Pkg. Tech. MAIP
“Few of those working in the food and packaging industries have had formal education in packaging. In many cases, they are promoted into a packaging role after successfully performing other roles in the company in production or R&D. Thus there is a demand from those in full-time employment for education in packaging and the AIP meets that demand by offering a range of programs from seminars and short courses to the Diploma in Packaging Technology. The value of these educational programs is evidenced by the successful careers of those who have completed them, in particular the Diploma.”
Professor Gordon Robertson PhD FAIP

“As a food technologist I have found the profession of packaging technology an extremely interesting and rewarding extension into the food and consumer goods industries.
I have found that having a Diploma in Packaging Technology, complemented by my earlier studies and industrial experience, have opened new career opportunities for me.
The network of people within the AIP and the Diploma course allowed me to develop a life-long friendship and on-going coaching from Harry Lovell. Harry also helped me find my packaging home within one of Australia’s greatest companies, Amcor. After nearly twenty years in the packaging industry leading to positions of a national technical nature; I can definitely recommend to those interested in the profession of packaging technology, to look at the Diploma Course and on-going educational assistance offered by the AIP.”
George Ganzenmuller Dip.Pkg. Tech. FAIP
“We can provide people with educational opportunities today, to meet the demands of the workplaces of tomorrow. Education is for life — it is an investment that cannot be lost, spent or taken away. Distance Learning does however demand self discipline and the ability to apply oneself constantly to one’s studies, so students must understand this and ensure that they are prepared and able, in terms of self discipline, to accept this challenge. The advantages of distant learning or studying on-line are that one can study when and where you like. People need to have a goal, and be equipped to make it a reality. They need to be able to understand what is available to them, identify their strengths, and then make choices that will lead to a fulfilling and challenging career and result in a happy and productive life.”
Pierre Pienaar MSc (Brunel University, UK); FAIP; AIFS
“My goal when I started the Diploma was to be able to speak to suppliers with an understanding of their products and requirements. As Artwork & Packaging Coordinator for Sigma Herron Pharmaceuticals I needed to understand the requirements for getting a product into the market place, from concept to launch and beyond. It amazes me how many people don’t understand what packaging entails, mostly they think it is just packing a box! How wrong they are and I tell them to look in their pantry and fridge and then ask how it got there still tasty, safe and undamaged.”
Helen Walters Dip.Pkg. Tech. MAIP
