Student Experience

Jack now owns and runs a Melbourne-based furniture business - Nosiva – Natural Urban Living - that specialises in custom made furniture and has an ever growing list of residential and corporate clients.

“Holmesglen was the perfect choice for me as I always preferred working with my hands. The lessons were practically based and taught me a great deal about the furniture industry. I especially enjoyed using machinery and tools that were identical to those used by industry professionals.

“After some research, I found the right courses for me; the Certificate III and Certificate IV in International Trade and the Diploma of International Business at Holmesglen.

“The lecturers gave me a lot of theory information, regarding importation and exportation, communication skills, law, management and much more that have helped me work in the international logistics and marketing/ management fields.
