Take Your Business
To a New Level

I recently had the pleasure of being a student in a business class mentored by Angie.

She presented the course in a way that was engaging, interesting and easy to understand. Angie obviously has the best interest of the students and their businesses at heart.

Angie’s passion for business and teaching others ways of doing it better was evident. I learned a lot during the course thanks to Angie. She went above and beyond to ensure that every student had the resources and support they needed to succeed.

I would highly recommend Angie to anyone looking to gain comprehensive understanding of business (marketing or otherwise). They will undoubtedly walk away with new and valuable skills and knowledge for running a successful business.

Thanks Angie. Love your passion for what you do.

Late last year I completed my Cert IV in Entrepreneurship & New Business through TAFE, delivered uniquely through six one on one mentoring sessions with an industry-leading expert.  I had the privilege of being mentored by the wonderful Angie Hammond of Garnish Marketing who was an absolute fountain of knowledge. With Angie’s guidance & the provided course materials, I was able to flesh out & develop a thorough business plan.

Angie herself was extremely knowledgeable, personable, passionate & an absolute joy to work with. I always looked forward to our sessions & left brimming with ideas, full of inspiration, with a “to-do” list a mile long!

The quality of my training was outstanding.  I was able to discuss specific business ideas with Angie & relate these to theory & have her bolster those ideas with her vast experience.  It wasn't a classroom environment where I had to “share” the mentor with others. 

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my training & got more out of it than I ever anticipated!

The advancement course we participated in was set up wonderfully. As Leanne and myself are disability clients. Angie explained each subject and point formed it to make the subject highlighted better.

When things happened unplanned outside of tafe, Angie adapted to our circumstances, taking the pressure load off us as much as possible, but yet still kept us on track of the course.

Angie is an amazing mentor and person. TAFE is so lucky to have Angie!

Working with Angie was a real eye opener, a very motivated individual with a serious goal to help people learn and accomplish their small business goals. Angie helped me to understand concepts that were difficult for me to realise, helping me achieve a larger & better understanding of my small business goals and what I needed to learn to improve the business’s current standing.

Angie was foot to bum in making sure that I didn’t slack off, making sure I progressed and completed my course. Angie provided so much more information and help than the minimum ensuring my success during the course and for the future of my small business and its future success. I am very happy with the course and the results achieved. If I was to change anything it would be more one-on -one time with the mentor as I enjoy this more than reading and watching videos.

Angie is an absolute pleasure to work with, professional, exciting and generous. I highly recommend and will work with Angie again in the near future.

I recently completed the Cert IV in New Business & Entrepreneurship with the wonderful Angie. She is an outstanding teacher, who really knows her stuff. She makes the sometimes complex course material easy to understand and is always there with a helping hand.

I am so glad I met Angie and did this course, it has helped  my professional career immensely and boosted my confidence as well. Thanks so much Angie.

I was lucky enough to be accepted to the Entrepreneurship and New Business course in the second half of 2022.

I found the course to be very comprehensive, relevant, and thoroughly delivered. Since the course wrapped up, I have been able to utilise many of the skills and strategies I learned in the two new businesses I have started.

Angie Hammond was very supportive and available for the duration of the course and offered plenty of specific advice outside of the course content.

I would definitely recommend this course for anyone looking to start a new business or wanting to learn some skills to implement into an existing business.

I am thankful to Angie for the support she has provided, and she made me feel comfortable throughout the process.

Thanks for everything!

Enrolling into the Cert IV in Business and Entrepreneurship I was hoping to gain knowledge that would help me to run our small business. From the very first session with my Mentor, Angie, my expectations were exceeded. I learnt so much invaluable information general to the course and specific to our business. I was taught to step back and look at the business as a whole, the running of the business and where we are going. (In all honesty, after completing the course, it baffles me how blindly we were coasting along!)

I enjoyed every minute of the course and didn’t even feel like I was studying, just learning what I was passionate about and improving the business. Angie is a fantastic Mentor, extremely knowledgeable and a lovely person, I looked forward to our mentoring sessions each time and disappointed now the course is completed!

The only improvement I can suggest is I wish the course would go on for longer into to the Diploma etc as I found this way of teaching brilliant. Highly recommend this course and Angie as a mentor! :)

I was mentored by Angie through the New Business and Entrepreneurship Program at Tafe. Angie guided me through the coursework in a very patient (I'm no easy student) and compassionate way whilst remaining focused and pushing me when I needed it.

Angie is a sensational coach and mentor. She adapted to my needs and delivered the education in a way that felt tailored to me on a personal level. She made the experience of studying a Tafe course feel tailored, I felt like the course was there to serve me on my purpose and help me rather than try and force me to be a certain way which was the fear I had going into it probably due to my experience with high school.

There's alot of value delivered in this course and I recommend it to anyone thinking about starting a small business or with an entrepreneurial mindset. The depth of knowledge, wisdom and experience as well as network that Angie brings to the table is incredible. I'm very grateful for the experience.
