Tony
CEO
Studied a business course and chose to follow a career in HR. Tony started out by working for a recruitment firm in the Sydney CBD, and then boldly stepped out and started his own business in training. This provided first-hand experience of starting a business from scratch and what it takes to make it successful.
He surrounded himself with good people , took their advice, and built a Registered Training Organisation. 15 years later, he’s still the CEO. Tony has a passion for education and wants to share its benefits with everyone.
Tony is currently studying Philosophy, Politics and English plays drums (not well!), cries in movies (when the reluctant hero emerges triumphant), loves sport and climbing mountains (literally)!

Michelle
Mentor
Michelle started in a big corporate as a Learning & Development Manager, so she’s very familiar with what the employer wants.
Since that time , she's had over 15 years’ experience in personally delivering training in Leadership & Management, Business and Customer Engagement courses.
Michelle has trained thousands of people from the unemployed through to corporate executives, so she’s very aware of how a theory course can be applied in business practice. She has also studied many, many professional development courses, including a Bachelor of Education.
Our students tend to build a good relationship with Michelle and they love the way she nurtures them into understanding new ideas. When she’s not training – or renovating her home (!) – she loves to holiday in beachside resorts with her family.

Jenni
Student Support
Jenni started working in an office after leaving school and worked her way up to a Office Manager role of an International company based in North Sydney where, one year, she won Employee of the Year. Then, the work/life question kicked in and she wondered if the corporate life was really for her, so, she chose to move out of the city, did courses in Customer Engagement, Interior Design and even belly-dancing!
Jenni nestled into the accounts area of Edmund Barton College where she’s been for nearly 10 years and works from home.
She loves yoga , her family, taking her Jack Russell/Foxy cross for morning walks, and she has a pathological need to make sure her clients get really good support!
