• Started my own CC Business after my father sold the school and retired.
• I did my own marketing where I handed out pamphlets myself early mornings at train stations.
• Based on the experience I learned at the Mervyn Harvey Education, together with the study materials and textbooks I wrote, I enhanced the courses for full time and part time students both young of age to even retired adults. Flexible hours to complete the 10 lessons per course.
• I created further courses such as Internet and E-mail. Students learned how to use the Internet and search for information. They created their own free online e-mail accounts and learned how to create E-mails, formatting and attaching documents.
• I created my own assessment question papers, where I assessed their theoretical understanding.
• Based on the theory examinations, I wrote practical instructions where I needed my students to practically display and apply what they have learned in the 10 classes they attended.
• Students who passed with 50% or more were presented with a customized TJHCS certificate.
• As an additional award, students who passed with 80% or more received a free Top Student Cap
• I identified that there was a need for training only specific topics based on the courses I had.
• The facility for hourly training was created where I did one on one training with students and trained them in theory and in practical to have them be able to do what they needed to learn. This involved hourly rates, where they need not attend classes, and no examinations required.
• In 2008 I relocated my office school from EastWay in Silverton to an Office near Menlyn Park.
• The need for hourly training became very popular as I often went to retirement villages in the area and trained my customers on how to use a computer and keep in touch with their families via learning how to use E-mail and how to use Skype. This Involved MS Office needs as well.
• In 2010 I relocated to Bela-Bela and continued the hourly training by going to customers homes
