What former students have to say ...
I've been lucky enough to be a student of Lisa's. her expertise is captivating and has been absolutely vital with helping nail my first job within the fashion industry. I am so grateful for the knowledge and opportunities I've gained from such an experienced and invaluable mentor. I would not be where I am today without her. (a full time production assistant for one of Australia's biggest retailers and soon to be trainee product developer!).
I was lucky enough to meet Lisa at a time in life when I was extremely lost! I had just dropped out of a bachelor's degree at a formal University in the hope of pursuing a career in the fashion industry. However, knowing how many people chase careers in the fashion industry I didn't like my chances of ever succeeding! What I didn't know at the time though was that by signing up to the Diploma of Fashion Business course, I was about to meet a woman who would help me achieve everything I had dreamed of and more! Lisa is far more than a teacher, she has been such an incredible support system to me over the years and I can honestly say that without her guidance and mentoring I would not be where I am today, working in my dream career, first as a trainee buyer then a junior buyer and now as a Trend Forecaster for one of Australia's largest retailers. Whatever it might be that you are hoping to achieve in the fashion industry, Lisa will certainly help you get there! I cannot recommend her teaching and mentorship more highly. Sign up to her course and I promise you, it's a decision you will never regret!
I was first introduced to Lisa in 2015 when I signed up to study Fashion Business with the hope of following a new career trajectory in Buying. With Lisa's indispensable knowledge of the industry, she went above and beyond to help me realise my career aspirations. I can't emphasize how valuable it was to learn from an industry professional such as Lisa, and something you can't simply learn writing essays of reading textooks. Lisa is passionate about each and every student she mentors and is relentless in the pursuit of you career objectives whatever they might be. She helped me with my confidence whilst preparing my expectations for what can be a cut-throat industry at times. Had it not been for Lisa's mentorship, I don't think I would be celebrating the career progression I've been fortunate to achieve. I will be eternally thankful. Don't waste another minute, it's the best $'s you'll ever spend!
