TESTIMONIALS
When I finished my studies, I went armed with all my CESA certificates and, believe it or not, the reason I got the job was because I was an “all-rounder” as the interviewer said. I would be able to pick up any administrative/clerical job and fit in almost immediately. The interviewer was impressed with the CESA exam certificates because she said that an independent exam was a better way of testing. Today, 25 years later, I am the senior manager of one of the largest private health care companies in Australia.

“I came to Australia from Hong Kong to study in the 1980s. My course included shorthand, shorthand speed, typing, bookkeeping and office practice. I did all of my exams through the Commercial Education Society of Australia. I had heard of it vaguely because a few people I knew at school had done the CESA typing exams. They found that they could get better jobs with a CESA certificate. The CESA exams were the start of a successful career, and a successful life. And, yes, my parents enrolled my younger brother into the same college in Sydney. He now has a property business and uses the skills he learnt and succeeded in with the CESA exams.”
