ideals.net.au

iDeals.net.au is not just another daily deals website. Although it is an Australian daily deals site, we’re predicting you’ll be more than a little surprised to learn that iDeals.net.au was actually created to serve a purpose – completely unrelated to offering daily bargains.

Actually, our core business exists within the vocational education and training (VET) sector. In 2010, iDeals.net.au’s founder, Russell Dymond, started Dymond Institute of Business – a registered training organisation (RTO).

With the RTO offering nationally recognised business-related courses only, Dymond decided to extend the organisation’s capabilities – specifically in relation to non-accredited small business training, solutions and services.
To meet this objective, in 2013, the Queenslander created a completely new start-up business named BizTrain, which today runs parallel to the accredited training entity.
Vocational training’s purpose is to make sure candidates are work-ready. Or, in other words, able to start a job in their chosen field, and to perform the role competently from the onset.

On the surface and iDealistically speaking, this sounds easily achieved. The reality is, it’s not that easy. What if the student isn’t currently working? Or what if the student hasn’t previously been employed? In these situations, simulated work environments are generally used to train the student. Unfortunately though, simulation isn’t real, which translates to less-than-optimum learning environments.
iDeals.net.au has been created to solve this problem. It’s a real business, which will face real issues. It’ll be co-managed by real students, who will learn the marketing and management functions of an online business. Students will be dealing with real merchants, who will want to generate real money. And they’ll be working hard to make sure that you – our end customer – score outstanding real deals.
