Our Financial Education Journey

From humble beginnings to empowering thousands of Australians with practical financial skills — discover how Educoro Bloxa became the trusted name in personal finance education.

2018

The Foundation Years

2018 - 2020

What started as a small consulting practice in Wollongong quickly evolved into something much bigger. I remember sitting in that cramped office, watching too many hardworking Australians struggle with basic financial concepts that should've been straightforward.

  • Launched with just three core workshops on budgeting and debt management
  • Served our first 150 students across the Illawarra region
  • Developed our signature "Real Money, Real Life" approach to financial education
  • Established partnerships with local community centers and libraries
  • Created our first digital resources after countless requests from participants
2022

Expansion & Recognition

2021 - 2023

The pandemic changed everything for us — and I mean that in the best possible way. When face-to-face workshops became impossible, we pivoted to online learning faster than we thought possible. Suddenly, we weren't just helping people in Wollongong anymore.

  • Reached over 3,500 students across Australia through online programs
  • Won the NSW Adult Learning Excellence Award for innovative financial education
  • Launched our comprehensive 12-week Financial Foundations course
  • Introduced specialized programs for different life stages and circumstances
  • Built our first mobile app to help track progress and maintain accountability
  • Formed strategic partnerships with major Australian financial institutions
2025

Leading Financial Literacy

2024 - Present

Today, we're proud to be one of Australia's most trusted financial education providers. But honestly, what excites me most isn't the numbers — it's the messages we get from people who've completely transformed their relationship with money.

  • Over 12,000 Australians have completed our programs
  • Average participant reports 40% improvement in financial confidence
  • Expanded to offer specialized corporate training programs
  • Published "The Australian Guide to Financial Freedom" (bestseller status)
  • Launched our mentorship program connecting successful graduates with newcomers
  • Recently opened our Sydney training center to complement our Wollongong headquarters

Looking Ahead to 2026

We're not slowing down anytime soon. Our goal is ambitious but achievable: help 50,000 Australians develop genuine financial confidence by the end of 2026. We're expanding our programs, developing new partnerships, and always looking for better ways to make financial education accessible and practical.
