I have previously worked in Human Resources, and also worked for Industry Training Organisations to assist apprentices to complete qualifications while working, The Centre brings together my previous experience in a variety of roles in addition to utilising my range of qualifications from Psychology (study of human behaviour) to Secondary Teaching.
I believe life is for living and learning, because learning leads to better living.
Learning doesn’t mean just a qualification or study as such, it may be learning to forgive both yourself or others.
I love the great NZ outdoors and am proud to call Rotorua NZ home. I am always encouraging other Australians to visit and see the best place to live and learn.

What our students are saying
"Service skills helped me gain more confidence, knowledge in customer service skills and experience in a salon. Before I started this course I wasn't going that well with my work in school but since I joined i've had heaps of help and now have completed my level 2 retail/salon skills in just 2 terms which I'm very happy about and thankful for my tutors for helping me get to where I am now. Love this course always just happy vibes here"
