BUILDING
BIOLOGY
I
believe that the skills and knowledge I have gained from completing
my studies in the Diploma of Building Biology at the Australian
College of Environmental Studies are undoubtedly of the highest
standards worldwide. This young, vibrant and incredibly supportive
college is more professional and personal than any educational institution
I have experienced. Having obtained a degree previously at a large
university, I find it difficult to express the unique energy of
inspiration, support and feeling that you are a part of a close
family at the ACES. I found the lecturers passionate, highly educated
and experienced in their fields of expertise. I regard myself as
being quite fortunate to have been part of such an inspiring and
supportive studying environment. I have experienced so much more
personal and educational growth than I ever expected to during this
course. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Building
Biology course offered at the ACES, as I believe it is the most
unique and comprehensive course available in this field. We are
truly fortunate to have this college based right here in Melbourne.

FENG
SHUI COURSE
The college has hundreds of testimonials by students. Here
are just a few:
“I am not one to write testimonials for just
anyone although because of my experience with the Australian College
of Environmental Studies it has been one of such benefit that I
feel extremely passionate about spreading the word. I had completed
their previous certification for Feng Shui consultants which absolutely
blew me away – Not only did the course cover such comprehensive
subjects, it also included much added value that I was not expecting.
All the lecturers were thorough in their knowledge and their ability
to impart their information was priceless. Since that time ACES
now offers the first nationally accredited certification of Feng
Shui in Australia. I have since upgraded my certification to include
the Certicate IV in Feng Shui and was once again excited to see even
more information, detail and subjects added to the course. Having studied with other people and Masters both here and overseas, I truly
believe this is the best Feng Shui course in Australia if not the
world. ACES standards are second to none and the passion the college
has is contagious. Be prepared to study and commit as this is not
a “week long” course but more a comprehensive, inspirational,
life changing and fun start to a life long career.“
Liz Wiggins (Full time Feng Shui Consultant and President of the Association of Feng Shui Consultants)
Everything
so far has been TRULY amazing (Form and Compass (Feng Shui), Sick
Building Syndrome, Advanced Feng Shui), but Anthony, you, your knowledge
and particularly your gentle and loving personality to the earth
and your teaching has made Geobiology the ULTIMATE for me. I was
attracted to the college because I had ideas to incorporate a "feel
good" and improved health experience into the properties I'm
working with from a development and real estate sales scenario.
To create a difference to all parties involved, the purchasers (obviously),
the developer, the sales people, NOW the LAND. This has been delivered
by ALL the teachers and I’m looking forward to the remainder
of subjects. This has far exceeded my expectations. Thank you to
the College, teachers and fellow students.

After establishing a business in the Interior Design industry, I considered offering Feng Shui as a complementary service. From the moment I studied with the Australian College of Environmental Studies (ACES), Feng Shui has changed my life and become my passion! I have to tell people in writing what I have been saying to anyone who will listen: the Feng Shui course at ACES is AMAZING! ACES provides its Feng Shui students with a mountain of comprehensive notes, lectures and workshops. There is also a huge amount of assignment work and assessments to ensure that you really know your stuff. This is fantastic for students and their potential clients, as high-achieving graduates have an excellent understanding of Feng Shui, which is reflected in the quality of their consultations. The best aspect of studying at ACES is the quality of the educators – especially Nicole and Katina. Not only do they willingly share their knowledge and experience, they have a genuine desire for their students to succeed. They provide invaluable support and advice to their graduates, even after the course is over. After experiencing other courses and meeting consultants who have studied Feng Shui elsewhere, I believe that ACES provides the most solid foundation in Feng Shui education.

Nicole HUGE thank you for including geobiology subject as a part
of our course. Some absolutely amazing things happen at my place
since I have started studies on a college. When I started a college
I was expecting to learn a proper Feng Shui, but already after the
first subject “Form and Compass school” I have realised
that this will be a “life school”. I have realised that
my Journey do not ends here - IT BEGINS….. Huge thank you
and all amazing teachers on college. Each of you has a woven special
thread in this magic carpet I am flying on now…

At
last a course which puts it all together! After reading many books
on Feng Shui I was thoroughly confused. This course was well presented,
provided comprehensive manuals and was both informative and practical.
Each of the lecturers were easy to understand and provided a different
and unique approach to this complex topic. I would recommend this
college to anyone!
Narelle (Melbourne)
I wanted to let you know that I am really enjoying studying with your college. I wish I had heard of you before i studied with Joey Yap's school (Mastery Academy) and with Julianna; they actually didn't go into much detail in comparison. With your DVD's and comprehensive notes, I feel so much more confident already (despite being a Feng Shui Consultant), and I've only done the first subject! I can't wait to start Advanced Feng Shui and all of the other subjects in your course. On top of that, I am only spending half of what I have paid for the other schools! Thank you.

Nicole
your enthusiasm, support, knowledge and outrageous abundance of
energy over the year has been so appreciated. You are an inspiration.
With love from the class of 2000.
It
is great to have teachers to ask, rather than reading books which
contradict one another. This course brings it all together.
Claudia Ianev (Melbourne)
I
can now appreciate how useful it is to have this knowledge as a
naturopath. The course was incredibly comprehensive and taught in
a clear and motivational manner. Nicole’s passion and knowledge
for this topic was very infectious.
Melanie (Melbourne)
I
loved the way in which the teachers talked about their real life
case histories. The group discussions and tutorials also enabled
me to consolidate the information given. Well done.
Joanne (2000)
There
are too many Feng Shui people in society passing themselves off
as consultants’ or ‘masters’. This very professional
course ensures that you know the most important aspects of Feng
Shui, Geomancy and Building Biology. The enthusiasm with which the
subjects were taught and the large pool of knowledge that was imparted
was truly appreciated. Thank you for helping me to be in control
of my life.
Ruth (Melbourne)
I
never thought this course would be so inspiring, challenging and
motivating. Thank you!
Lisa (Melbourne)
I
heard you (Nicole Bijlsma) on the radio speaking about Feng Shui.
It was fascinating! I identified with much of what you were saying
and just wanted to email you to say that I’m glad that such
a college exists in Melbourne and that you are doing so well. Thank
you for making my day.
Eric (11th July 2001)
What
fabulous inspiring teachers! I wish I could bottle you all up like
essences and take a few drops when I need you!
Robyn (Melbourne)
The
lecturers were generous with their knowledge and were willing to
answer all of our questions. Excellent course.

I
loved the way each subject built upon and included all of the knowledge
of the previous subjects. The huge emphasis on the practical component
helped to consolidate the theory in the course. Don’t change
anything about the course, the enthusiasm created by the lecturers
was infectious!
Lisa (Melbourne)
The
lecturers were positive, supportive and able to communicate the
vast array of information on so many levels. Well done.
Narelle (2001)
Having studied several feng shui courses both here and overseas, I didnot have the confidence to work as a consultant. This course provided me with the knowledge and experience I needed to not only create the life I have always wanted, but to make a successful career out of Feng Shui. This course provided me with the feedback I needed to consolidate the information whilst providing me with the time to implement all that I had learnt. I particularly appreciated the comprehensive manuals, DVDs which i could watch as often as I liked and the feedback I received from my tutors and lecturers. Thank you so much for a great course!

Anthony
is passionate, approachable and very knowledgeable on the subject
of geomancy. His confidence instilled confidence in me.
Natasha (Melbourne )
Anthony’s
depth of experience and friendly manner make this a truly enjoyable
subject.
Tony (Melbourne)
Given
the esoteric nature of the subject, it was very well structured
and made me feel confident to locate and remedy various forms
of geopathic stress in the environment. I especially loved the
field trips and practical element of the subject.
Nicole (Sydney)
Jenny
and Christine were very open and created a relaxed and enjoyable
atmosphere for learning how to meditate and create a sacred space.

CHINESE ASTROLOGY
Vic’s enthusiasm and depth of experience makes him very qualified
to teach this difficult subject. I loved the accuracy in which the
four pillars can be used to determine why people’s lives are
the way they are. I learnt a lot more studying the four pillars
with Vic then I ever did studying with two reputable Asian Feng
Shui Masters. Keep up the good work Vic.
Nicole Bijlsma (Melbourne)
Vic
was witty, passionate and willing to answer all of our questions.
His extensive use of so many case histories including famous people
was both fantastic and enlightening.
Katina Benis (Melbourne)
Vic
has such a good understanding of the subject and is able to convey
this depth of knowledge to the class.
Alex Ianev (Melbourne)
Chinese
astrology was well presented, structured and informative. Well done.
