Heed Education is formed with a clear vision of not just selling a qualification to an entity but to impart an individual with the right skills and knowledge that can be put to use in the industry and will help realise dreams. My journey started as an international student in Australia in 2007. After completing my double post-grad qualification in Professional Accounting and Business Administration I was fortunate to secure an accounting job with a reputed firm on the Gold Coast. But soon after starting the job, I realised that what I learnt was a lot of knowledge in my Postgrad qualification but I was not skilled as an accountant or to analyse business information. Hence the spark to set up an educational institute that will not only provide knowledge but will also impart skills to work in the industry. Since then I have been working as an academic with Southern Cross University and TAFE at Gold Coast, Australia.

As an Accounting and Business academic in Australia since 2009 I have met hundreds of students who are not able to find a job even after holding a Degree in the relevant field. On the other hand, numerous conversations with business owners the truth of the matter for preferring an experienced and skilled employee over a graduate is that we have an expectation gap between our qualification and industry. Mostly the businesses do not have the time and resources to train a fresh graduate hence the preference of an experienced worker.

My sincere effort at Heed Education is to not only make sure you are qualified with a document that states you have completed a qualification but are also job-ready and an employer prefers to have a Heed Education graduate on board.
