CULTURE AND CUSTOMS Australia is a fairly multicultural country and over 25% of the population was born in a different country. Australia’s land size is approximately the same size as the continental United States. The current population is around 22 million with most people living in the capital cities and along the East Coast. While Australia’s official language is English, over 200 languages are spoken. Australians are generally fairly easygoing and informal. At the same time, we value hard work, fairness, teamwork, and supporting others. We believe everyone should have equal rights and equal opportunities. Australian residents have a range of religions, views, and backgrounds. While people may not agree with you, people are generally respectful and tolerant of the choices and views of others. Australians also enjoy a good laugh and love to make fun of things including themselves.
Your classroom colleagues, like the workforce will have a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and views. At Think, many classes also have an emphasis on group work. This helps to simulate a real-world work environment where you will regularly need to be able to work with colleagues and clients to agree on solutions for a final product or service. We know that there are many different styles of learning and our staff are happy to help you to understand what is expected of you in order to be successful in your course.

It is well documented that student engagement takes place when students are interested in the content of their program and are with likeminded students. In the Direct Entry Programs students are learning English through content/ discipline based topics that interest and motivate them to achieve their goals. This is an exciting development for English language programs.

HELLO FRIEND
As a leading design college in Sydney and Brisbane, our success comes down to two things. One: providing a vibrant learning environment where students can experiment and investigate their expressive and personal potential as designers in their chosen discipline, and Two: supporting students as they experience the rigour and pace of professional design while still at College. In short – students have fun surrounded by like-minded people in a generous, collaborative working studio environment. At Billy Blue you learn about yourself as a designer and grow in confidence to be ready to enter top design firms or agencies. These key objectives are the ambitions that pull us all together.
We look forward to welcoming you into our unique environment and our established fraternity of collaborators and partners.
William Blue APM ACNT
At Billy Blue we don’t work in a theoretical vacuum. Our courses, whether Bachelor of Applied Design Degrees or Vocational foundation courses, are born out of our original mission of ‘design education for designers by designers.’ At Billy Blue we proudly produce ‘design thinkers who can make, and do.’
Billy Blue is proud to claim an iconic and affectionate place in the hearts and minds of the global design community.
ANCB
We stand committed to our key values of providing relevant and practical design education through maintaining consistent engagement with the design and communication industry, the academic community and the community of designers around the world.
The landscape for designers today is increasingly complex. Billy Blue designers are focused on finding opportunities to apply the design and problem solving process wherever possible. Design today has to be responsive to the myriad issues that face contemporary urban life and shifting consumer niches. It’s no longer feasible to consider design as a purely aesthetic or decorative exercise. Generating unique solutions to problems is at the heart of what some theorists call ‘the dawning of the creative age.’ We are always looking for unique individuals to nurture and mentor. Working in design is much more than just making pictures. It’s a demanding and exhilarating life-choice where we work with clients and project objectives to create potent and memorable design outcomes. It’s much more than art. It’s about creating the opportunity to design no matter the chosen discipline. We are always moving towards the industry as it exists, responding to the social and commercial reality of the time.

PAN YAMBOONRUANG Landor Associates Designer 2005 Graduate Communication Design Bachelor Degree
“Billy Blue was my obvious choice thanks to its practical approach, industry recognition, creative reputation, and quality, experienced lecturers. I can honestly say that I enjoyed every second of working on design projects because I had an open license to create. There’s no right or wrong in this job and the possibilities are endless. Having a happy client is vital to doing a job well in this industry, and it’s one of the most rewarding parts of the job. To be a good designer, I need to constantly push myself beyond what I think I can do.
WHITNEY COLBOURN War Design Junior Designer 2009 Graduate Communication Design Bachelor Degree
“I really liked the personal atmosphere of Billy Blue College of Design and wanted to go to the best design college possible where I could collaborate with talented people on a range projects. Landing a position at War Design has been an exciting opportunity for me. They believe in great design and the change it can affect, which makes for a motivating and inspiring work environment. No brief or project is ever the same and my skills as a designer are always put to the test. I love everything about this industry - the work, deadlines, challenges, inspiration, people and more. My plan for the future is to become the Creative Director of my own studio.”

“The study environment at Billy Blue was friendly, inviting and fun! I liked the fact that the degree included lots of practical work and that the lecturers actually worked in the industry. The highlight of my career so far has definitely been seeing my work going from the design stage through to print and onto newsagents shelves. There’s so much gratification in knowing that you helped produce a magazine. Seeing my work on television and knowing that it is being broadcast live across Australia, and streamed on the internet is also a great thrill. I love the visual aspect of both print media and television and wanted to be part of the creative process. Having this diversity across two jobs keeps it interesting and fun! To get into the magazine industry you need to be determined, motivated and show initiative. Eventually I would like to be Art Director of a women’s lifestyle magazine.”

“Billy Blue College of Design gave me the opportunity to hold lots of workshops and studio sessions. It was such an amazing opportunity to share with fellow students. While studying at Billy Blue, I won the Yellow Sock Award in my 2nd year for breaking new ground, and the Commodore Award in my 3rd year for academic performance, attitude, creativity and professionalism. Recently I won the Sydney Cut&Paste 3D Design competition which places me alongside the rest of the design world at the New York Global Championship. Thanks to Billy Blue, I now work as a 3D Artist at Resolution Design Australia, a postproduction company handling shorts, TVCs and commercials. There’s nothing better than earning money by making awesome cool graphics for the rest of my life. I continue to be inspired by artists around the world every single day.”

On completion of the course I was immediately offered several job opportunities (including two in NZ). After extensive decision-making I took up the position as a junior designer at Text Pacific Danielle Gladden Publishing, part of Junior Designer, TextPacific Publishing the Channel 7 and Graphic Design | Diploma Pacific Magazines Group. It has been the most amazing journey thus far, Some of the projects I have worked on to date involving some huge include logo design for a small design company, learning curves along writing beauty features for Girlfriend magazine, the way. The highlight laying out pages for New Idea magazine and of studying at CATC beauty shoot styling (this was all whilst studying was the freedom of at CATC). More recently however, through Text creativity offered, our Pacific, I have been involved in press checks, preparation for the attending food shoots, designing recipe cards, real world and the designing trade event invitations, working in vocational placement a team environment to create potential client opportunities pitches, designing advertorials, attending model available to all castings and dealing with modelling agencies, students. photo shoot site scouting, designing 10 issues My career goals for of Weight Watchers, organising and attending the future include photo shoots with Melinda Gainsford Taylor progression up the monthly and writing up photo shoot call sheets. industry hierarchy My journey has not come without its own little ie. moving from my challenges. Firstly, the move away from my home current role as a junior and family in New Zealand and having to make designer position new friends. Followed by the smaller challenges to art director and specific to graphic design and advertising eventually creative such as balancing life, study and work commitments, deadlines, picture director. Simultaneously, I am juggling additional outside projects such searching, maintaining professionalism and being accommodating at as book illustrations and book cover designs for some of the amazing all times, dealing with stress well, liaising with clients/advertising teams journalists I have met on my career path to date. I would also like to who can be very vague about briefs, constant changes (it’s important to be experience working in the media industry overseas and perhaps extend flexible in this kind of industry) and, most importantly to learn to manage my media experience into more of an event management role or perhaps time efficiently and multitask!! branch out into television/broadcast design/journalism.
William Blue
CATC offered the perfect solution to additional study - a one-year diploma of graphic design and advertising. Without the extensive support, flexibility, confidence, inspiration and enthusiasm the teachers and the community provided there I would not be anywhere near where I am today.

You can’t learn about the hospitality and tourism industry from a college alone – and you can’t teach hospitality and tourism unless you’re working in it. Otherwise it would be purely academic. Our industry is rapidly changing, and you need to be part of it to know what’s really happening. That’s why our lecturers don’t just teach – they’re also employed in senior roles in the hospitality industry. Through our connections with the hospitality, tourism and events worlds, our courses have been designed by industry and are taught by industry.

After completing the Bachelor of Business degree specialising in Hospitality and Tourism Management at William Blue, I was selected from approximately 400 applicants to be a part of the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) much sought after IGrad program for 2009. I am currently in the final stages of the IGrad program - a 12 month leadership program - and am based at Crowne Plaza Canberra.
At the end of my IGrad year I hope to be placed in a department head role such as Executive Housekeeper. For the long term I am aiming towards General Manager at one of IHG’s 4500 hotels anywhere in the world!
APM
The business degree specialising in hospitality and tourism management is a broad course offering a wide variety of subjects that are transferable to other industries. Thanks to William Blue I was able to achieve my IGrad position and now have an excellent foundation to build my career.
ACNT
My advice to students would be to combine study with work in the industry from the very start. The more experience you have, the more you benefit from learning the theory. An important piece of advice I have learnt from working within IHG is that the road to success is through the experiences we undertake.
Being selected from around 400 applicants to be one of 8 IHG IGrads for 2009 was a real achievement as this leadership program is very well regarded within the industry and much sought after.
ANCB
IHG gives me the room to grow. Once I have completed the 12 month program I will have the opportunity to be relocated to a different IHG property in Australia or New Zealand in a management position.
I love the fast pace and ever changing atmosphere of the hospitality industry and the opportunity to relocate around the world. The absolute highlight of the hospitality industry is the people. So far in my career I have been very fortunate to have worked with amazing, passionate people from whom I have been able to grow and learn.

Higher Education vs Vocational Education
William Blue College of Hospitality Management offers a wide range of qualifications that have been specifically designed to produce work ready graduates. There are important differences between the William Blue courses – we can help you decide which qualification is best suited to your chosen career path and requirements. HIGHER EDUCATION The Bachelor degrees offered by William Blue are university recognised higher education courses. Work placement and career development are major components of your course meaning the emphasis is on a knowledge and skill-based approach to learning. All lecturers are industry experts as well as experienced educators. To be eligible for a bachelor degree, you should have completed Year 12 with an ATAR of 63.40 or UAI of 60.00 or above (or equivalent). Entry to the degree courses requires an interview with our Head of College (where possible).
BACHELOR DEGREES (ON CAMPUS FULL-TIME STUDY) William Blue gives you the chance to obtain a bachelor degree in just 2 years. Offering 3 trimesters per year and 4 subjects per trimester, this timetable allows you to complete your study program in as little as 2 years. There is also the standard 3 year program available to students. As a full-time student, you will enjoy a comprehensive study load that consists of face-toface lectures and tutorials throughout the week. Prioritisation, planning and allocation of time are critical in order to be accelerated through such a rigorous qualification in 2 years. If applicable William Blue will assess your eligibility for course credit based on previous studies.
“ Studying at William Blue has helped me to step outside of my comfort zone. The lecturers have a lot of industry experience, and I’m constantly learning from them in the kitchen as well as in the classroom. The fact that I can combine a management qualification with culinary arts is a real advantage for me.” Curtis Ray De Agrella Current Student Advanced Diploma Commercial Cookery

As a graduate of the vocational Advanced Diploma of Hospitality, you can articulate into the third year of the William Blue Bachelor of Business or the La Trobe University Bachelor of Business (Tourism & Hospitality), subject to meeting minimum grade requirements.

Whilst in the United Kingdom he operated a beverage production business where he was charged with stealing sugar that was to be used to make rum. Branded a sugar thief, William Blue was sent to Australia, courtesy of the Crown and the convict ship Minorca. Upon his release from prison and having befriended Governor Lachlan Macquarie, William was granted the opportunity to develop Sydney’s first harbour taxi and tour company. He ferried settlers across Sydney Harbour from the current location of the Park Hyatt Hotel at Millers Point to what is now known as Blues Point, on the North Shore. One boat soon became a fleet, and William became known as “The Commodore”. William then built his own pub called The Commodore Hotel, which to this day can still be found at its original location on Blues Point Road. It is rather fitting that his name lives on – not only through the landmarks and streets named after him in North Sydney - but also through the William Blue College of Hospitality Management, which aims to produce the hospitality and tourism entrepreneurs of the future. How will my course progress be assessed? Assessment is via written examinations, case studies, tutorial participation, group work, observation, and presentations.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT LUCIE DA GRAÇA
Lucie Da Graça 2011 Graduate Bachelor of Business (Marketing) I came to APM through my French school, for one-year study abroad. I chose APM, because of their small classes, and the low level of international students. I wanted to live an Aussi adventure, learn about a new culture, and not being only with international students. Well, when I arrived, I was not disappointed… I was really impressed by this beautiful campus and the welcome. However, initially I was a little worried because I just speak English for few years. So during my first semester, I worked hard to Pass, and what a surprise… I did really well actually! Thanks to APM environment, with wellexperienced lecturers, who create privileged relationships with their students, always available to help and advice us; plus the teachers from the academic and learning support who assist me during each stages of my studies in APM; and the administration who accompanied me and was attentive to my needs.
ACNT
Moreover, during my second semester, APM gave me the opportunity of an industry placement. Contrarily to others schools, the Internship Service was very supportive, and help me to find an internship based on my interests and my own career plan. Now I work part-time as a Marketing Assistant in a small Australian company while finishing my Bachelor, which allow the development of additional skills that cannot be learnt in a classroom and complete my education perfectly.

“APM offers the ideal learning environment for its students. Industry professionals are on hand to deliver a unique mix of theory and on-the-job experience, case studies and career advice. APM is producing very capable people, passionate and skilled to take on roles in industry. They definitely have the confidence and edge to excel.”
APM 2009 marketing graduate, Liam O’Brien, used his work-ready skills to ‘wow’ a potential employer, securing a position with Australian fruit juice brand, nudie.
"APM's option to complete a full Bachelor degree in 2 just two years was very appealing to me. With unique industry links and smaller classes, my learning environment is more potent than other learning institutions."
“The practical experience and networking opportunities I received during my course’s internship were just invaluable. It’s one thing to study, but if you apply it to the industry you want to work in, nothing can hold you back.” O’Brien says APM’s course and internship program allowed him to develop his people and business skills to fit seamlessly into his role at nudie.
ACNT
“One of the first things I was asked to do as part of my application was to develop and present a marketing plan for a hypothetical product launch. It gave me the opportunity to demonstrate my skills and I was confident in my abilities to deliver this to a high standard. And, I landed the job,” says O’Brien.

Some of Blinc’s most talented rookies have been graduates of APM.”

Graduate spotlight
Studying a number of different disciplines over his two years at ACNT, Donald graduated in 2006/07, ready to unleash his skills and passion as a professional massage therapist. Impressively, he has already set up his own business where he is both a massage therapist and Company Director.
Kylie Seaton always looks forward to a rewarding day’s work. “It’s humbling and inspiring, and I’m blessed on a daily basis to be given the opportunity to work in this way”, she says. Kylie has her own practice based in a beautiful old terrace up on Challis Avenue, Potts Point. There, she works as both a naturopath and homoeopath, alongside an osteopath and acupuncturist. What inspired Kylie to study at ACNT was her passion to help others. “I wanted the opportunity to heal those diagnosed with terminal illness, and help heal through insight and wisdom.” KYLIE SEATON Private Clinical Practice (Naturopathy and Homoeopathy) Part-time Distance Education Tutor Australasian College of Natural Therapies ACNT Graduate
Two years on from graduating, Kylie believes that the naturopathic and homoeopathy professions provide an excellent grounding in the healing arts. And thanks to this solid foundation, she believes, “my clinical practice is free to evolve and develop in a dynamic and organic way”.
For now, Donald is more than happy building up the business and enjoying the Australian way of life. However, he hasn’t ruled out further study at ACNT in the future to expand his qualifications. In the meantime, Donald is keen to offer advice and encouragement to those embarking on an ACNT course. “Study hard, enjoy the journey and really listen to the insight and knowledge the teachers at ACNT offer. They are amazingly supportive and are there to help you every step of the way. Most importantly, be passionate about this exciting and rewarding industry!” Indeed, Donald is definitely someone who is passionate about his new direction in life, and is a shining example of how far an ACNT qualification can take you.
Having graduated with a handful of ACNT qualifications, Kylie is keen to grow her business even further. “Ideally, I’d like to build my clinical practice from three days a week to four days a week.” When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll find her teaching part-time on campus. ACNT was her education provider of choice for many reasons. “It offered the degree upgrade, the program was more professional than what other colleges were offering, and the student services team were very supportive.” Kylie offers encouraging words of advice for prospective students, “immerse yourself 100% in learning, have an inquisitive mind, listen, and absorb. But most of all, start work on yourself – then you can truly become a healer.”

Graduate spotlight
When I chose professional beauty and spa therapies as my future career, I did detailed research and learnt that ANCB has an excellent reputation in all areas of beauty and spa studies. ANCB is also the largest CIDESCO international school in Australia and provides training and examinations for all CIDESCO International certifications. This was exactly what I wanted!
LYDIA HUI LAN, TSAI WRB50105 Diploma of Beauty Therapy, ANCB Graduate
What I like the most about studying at ANCB are the lecturers. They all have extensive experience in the industry and I enjoyed very much learning from them day to day. They are very professional in their areas of expertise but also helpful in giving career advice and help build job seeking skills.
Why did you choose ANCB? I believe the best way to judge a college is to actually visit the premises. From the very beginning I felt that ANCB had the best facilities and equipment needed for my course and after speaking to a few of the lecturers I felt confident that I would be receiving the best education. What attracted you to the industry? I have always had an interest in beauty therapy, but at this point in my life I felt it was time to learn more about it. I wanted to learn more about the skin, about the body and about general wellbeing.
My advice to future students is to study very hard and remember all of the details you learn during practical training and clinical hours at ANCB. During my studies at ANCB, it gives me opportunity to put theory into practice and provides me with the necessary skills and confidence to work in the real world.
I have also been given me the opportunity to go to the World CIDESCO Congress held in Kyoto as my CIDESCO thesis was chosen for Australia. I can’t believe how far I have come! What are your career goals? I am currently working at a fat reduction and anti-ageing clinic working with machinery. I look forward to taking another course at ANCB in IPL, laser and micro-dermabrasion. I find that working with machinery is what really interests me and of course, I always want to keep learning!
What were the highlights of your course? What I loved the most about my course was the variety and diversity it offered. I learned something new every single day and I never got bored! From facials to reflexology, from stone therapy massage to aromatherapy, not a day went by that I wasn’t deloghted with my decision to come here.

A simple explanation of the framework is the Easy Guide to ESOS available online at: www.aei.gov.au/ AEI/ESOS/EasyGuide_ESOS.htm. We also have links to videos, checklists and information in other languages available at www.think.edu.au/ about-think/think-quality/esos-framework-foroverseas-students. The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations regulates the education and training sector’s involvement with international students studying in Australia on student visas. It does this through the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) legislative framework. This protects Australia’s reputation for delivering quality education services and the interests of international students, by setting minimum standards and providing tuition and financial assurance. The legislation mandates a nationally-consistent approach to registering education providers so that the quality of the tuition, and care of students, remains high. The professionalism and integrity of the industry is further strengthened by the ESOS legislation’s interface with immigration law. This imposes visa related reporting requirements on both students and providers.

Think: Colleges
Think: Education Group is distinguished by its commitment to providing innovative, industry relevant degree and vocational courses at the highest levels. This not only provides students with a guarantee of quality but also a unique learning experience that sets them apart from other college and university graduates. APM College of Business and Communication, Australian National College of Beauty, Australasian College of Natural Therapies, Billy Blue College of Design, CATC Design School, and William Blue College of Hospitality Management are trading names of Think: Colleges Pty Ltd, a private Higher Education Institution accredited by the New South Wales Department of Education and Training (DET) and a registered training organisation with national qualifications and courses accredited by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) . Currently Think: Colleges delivers Higher Education courses in Queensland through mutual recognition by DET and delivers in Victoria through mutual recognition by VRQA. The DET is the only accreditation authority in the State of New South Wales listed on the Australian Qualifications Framework Register, authorised via the New South Wales Higher Education Act (2001) to accredit private providers of higher education. AQSA is the only national accreditation authority for the State of New South Wales authorised via the National Vocational Education and Training Act (2011) and related legislation to accredit private providers of vocational education and training. Qualifications for overseas students are awarded by Think: Colleges Pty Ltd (RTO No 0269, CRICOS Provider Code NSW 00246M, QLD 03107J, VIC 03252M). All degrees, diplomas and advanced diplomas and some certificates issued by the College are recognised within the Australian Qualifications Framework. Currently the College is subject to periodic audits by the Australian Universities Quality Agency and AQSA. Workshops, seminars, and short courses offered by the College are not recognised within the Australian Qualifications Framework and they are not accredited by DET or VETAB. These are developed by the College in consultation with industry in order to meet industry needs. From the 1st of January 2012 accreditation and audits for all Higher Education courses will be transferred to the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), the new national regulator for Higher Education. This change will not have any direct impact on courses at Think: Colleges Pty Ltd or on enrolled students.
