ABS Institute

"Have just completed the Cert IV in Bookkeeping and Accounting, via the online workplace traineeship. ABS Institute’s learning platform was easy to navigate, the resources used were up to date and there was plenty of support when needed. Would definitely recommend the ABS Institute for anyone wanting to progress in their career by learning new skills."

"The ABS Institute run very informative classes on exactly the information you need if you're struggling to know where to start with running a small business. The lessons are done at a pace that isn't overwhelming, but filled with enough relevant information that they're not ever boring. It is also a great way to network with others who are in the same position as you and you can relate to them in a lot of ways. I would recommend their courses to anyone who needs help learning the basics to the more advanced parts of starting up a business. I've learned a lot and have been encouraged by attending."

"Attending the 5-day Exploring Self Employment Workshop program (2023) was amazingly informative and the coach/instructor Tracy was absolutely wonderful - helpful, patient, informative and inspiring!!! I loved it. To me this was more than just an introductory series of workshops. It provided invaluable in-dept information on all the different facets and areas for running a small business which cannot be achieved just by attending a single workshop in one area (for example, marketing). Our instructor Tracy was so lovely, friendly, easy to connect with, full with great examples and details on every topic, and most of all - very inspirational with lots of motivational and insightful videos. In regards to the admin part, I had a great experience with the admin team and top help from Jackie who explained and sorted out things promptly making all the paperwork a pleasure. I loved the relaxed and supportive atmosphere. The classroom was comfortable, with small kitchen facilities to accomodate all student needs. I'd definitely recommend ABS institute and the SEA program to anyone who wants to built a business and appreciates a comfortable face-to-face teaching environment with wonderful lecturers/instructors."

"What a fantastic business course. Sandra was well equipped with knowledge of the industry and the course pace and materials were well prepared and thought out. Laptops were available for those did not have them and Jackie at the reception desk was super friendly and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and am now in a great position for my business to grow effectively."

"I had a fantastic experience on the Self Employment Assistance program run by ABS. Sandra, the instructor, was incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of starting a business, everything from permits and book keeping right up to the threats posed by AI! She was an engaging and approachable tutor, always ready to share real-world examples to illustrate her points. This helped me to understand the more complex aspects of starting and running a business, including many I'd never even thought of. This course has really helped me, and I feel confident now in starting and running the business that Sandra helped me create. I can't recommend this course, or Sandra's teaching, highly enough."
