Whether you’re looking for your first job, changing careers, building new skills, or simply wanting to learn something new, our free programmes will help you move forward with confidence.
EBE is built around one idea: that everyone deserves a real shot at learning.
Our programmes are designed around real opportunities, real workplaces, and real outcomes, giving you the skills employers value and the confidence to achieve your goals.
We build learning around you. Your goals, your pace, and where you want to go.

At EBE, you’ll gain practical skills you can apply immediately, whether you’re preparing for employment, progressing in your career, starting a business, improving your digital skills, or gaining industry-recognised qualifications.
Our experienced tutors create supportive learning environments where every learner is encouraged to grow, ask questions, and succeed.
Our programmes are fully funded for eligible learners, making learning new skills easier to access without the financial barriers. Our team will help you understand your options, check your eligibility, and find the programme that's right for you.
Learning should make a real difference. That's why we design our programmes to focus on practical skills that can be applied in the workplace, at home, and in everyday life. Every programme is designed to help you achieve meaningful outcomes.
We understand that everyone learns differently and life doesn't stop while you're learning. That's why we offer a range of flexible options, including daytime, evening, workplace, and community-based programmes, making it easier to fit learning around your existing commitments.
Choosing to learn something new is a big step, but you won't take it alone. From your first enquiry through to completing your programme, our team is here to support you. We create welcoming environments where everyone is encouraged to ask questions, build confidence, and achieve their goals.
"Tim has supported me at every turn during my time with him, from helping with basic CV and cover letter, to speaking with employers and even enlightening me on some financial literacy."
"My tutor gave me so many tips and tricks on how to be confident in an interview, which was a goal for me as I struggled with anxiety, and he gave me heaps of resources to find a job."
"My tutor sat me down one on one and explained to me in a way I will understand."
"Just wanted to say thank you once again for organising this evening's branding session. My head is swimming with all the options and directions and information, but I LOVED IT! Sooooooo helpful, and has really helped me break through and clarify some things."
"Her humour and kindness helped me a lot — she was very understanding."
"My highlight of the programme is the amazing people."
“I want to thank you personally (especially from me) for your presentation in the 'gnarly' subject of branding. I was fully engaged with your teaching and the material you put together in the workshop guide, which also serves as a valuable takeaway for further learning and implementation of my own brand. This workshop was detailed and targeted, brilliant! We are very, very grateful.”
