I'm Andrew, the founder of Industry Currency.

I started the business in March 2016, originally to help trainers stay current with their industry requirements. It grew from there.

Before that, I worked in the industries we now train for. Hospitality shaped me over many years. I've also worked in aged care, disability support under the NDIS, and retail. I've done the work, not just taught it, and that experience matters when it comes to designing training that reflects real workplaces.

I later moved into training and assessment, and then into governance and leadership roles across different RTOs. This meant spending time on the regulatory side of vocational education, as well as in classrooms and workplaces. I've sat in audits, worked through complex requirements, and learned where the rules genuinely protect students, and where they can make learning harder if applied poorly.

I've also spent time with thousands of students from very different backgrounds. People changing careers. People returning to study after a long break. People juggling work, caring responsibilities, or trying to find their footing. You quickly learn that no two students come to training with the same circumstances or support needs.

That experience is why Industry Currency operates the way it does. We keep systems solid and compliant in the background, but we design training to be practical, clear, and manageable. Learning should feel challenging in the right ways, not confusing or overwhelming.

If you're considering studying with us and you're unsure, you're welcome to reach out. I still read emails, and I still care about how people experience their training.
