Hi Henry
I wanted to send an extra thank you to you, for all your assistance during my studies.
It wasn’t an easy decision for me to go back to study with work and family but after speaking to the ASSET team and in particular with you, it helped me feel confident I could do this!
Your experience, professionalism, kindness and unstoppable attitude to help me get my RPL subjects was/is greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
Samantha, I’d also like to thank you for your assistance at the end of my course. I appreciate all your feedback and kind words on completion.
The ASSET team are very lucky to have you both as educators.
If, and when I study again, I’ll definitely be coming back to Asset College.

It was a great course. It covered every aspect necessary to start a business. Brooke was so helpful, encouraging and supportive through out the course. I have 3 children and this course allowed me to study around my busy family life, at my own pace, in my own time.
