Practical info: face-to-face training

We prioritise one-on-one face-to-face training. It is significantly more effective than any online solution. If you live outside Melbourne, see our online training instead.

Location

Training takes place at 276 Flinders Street, in Melbourne’s CBD. Directly opposite Flinders Street Station, and with direct access by numerous tram routes.

Find your way to your appointment by train, tram or bus with the PTV Journeyplanner (destination address: “276 Flinders Street”).

By appointment only:

Please don’t leave your appointment request too late, especially if you’re thinking about training for an urgent issue like interviews. This is particularly important if you can only attend during popular periods (lunch, late afternoon, Saturday). In the last six months, the typical waiting time to start training has been 2-12 weeks.

Book an appointment

You might have noticed that some providers want you to book online for a single appointment (or a mostly meaningless “assessment”) and take money from you before you even have an idea of what training might involve… We don’t.

A responsible educator would take the time to make sure the client understands the process, and that their training can proceed smoothly and regularly.

Please scroll down and make an enquiry to get the ball rolling. 🙂
