Easy Guides

What Easy Guides does

Easy Guides Australia Pty Ltd is a privately held Australian provider of training and assessment resources for the vocational education sector, specifically targeting Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), training companies, and construction/mining operators. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Victoria (Boronia/Melbourne), the company operates with a 1-10 employee headcount and sells exclusively into the domestic Australian market. Its offering spans hard copy books, digital resources (PDF, MS Word, PowerPoint, eBook), online eLearning programs, and an online Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) assessment tool, all mapped to Australian units of competency and national assessment instruments.

The core catalog covers hundreds of resources across categories including high-risk work licences (forklift, crane, scaffolding, dogging, EWP), earthmoving equipment (excavator, dozer, loader, grader, roller), white card, first aid, confined spaces, work safely at heights, traffic management, RII infrastructure units, AHC agriculture, and electrotechnology. Materials are designed around a visual learning format using pictures and plain English, and are bundled into Trainer Value Packs containing learner guides, workbooks, PowerPoints, and mapping documentation for RTO scope inclusion. A distinguishing offering is an Audit Guarantee under which Easy Guides will remediate any compliance gaps found in its materials during government audits at no cost, supported by 12-month complimentary updates for legislative changes.

Commercially, the company runs a sales-led, direct-to-customer model through an e-commerce storefront (easyguides.com.au) and telephone sales, with physical products delivered via Australia Post and editable digital assets delivered via Dropbox. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time purchases of physical and digital training materials, with a recurring component from annual unlimited-user online training subscriptions and paid tiers of the LLN assessment tool (a freemium Level 1 test feeds a paid Level 2-4 license structure). Pricing spans roughly $12.50-$40 for individual learner guides and workbooks and $880-$19,600 for full qualification Trainer Value Packs. The company has a mutual co-development partnership with the NSW Government Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development on Quad bikes training resources. No revenue, funding, M&A, or ownership change signals are disclosed in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• TAFE NSW / TAFE Australia (resource publishing arms): Australia's largest public VET provider with internal resource development capabilities and licensing arrangements. Sets industry baseline for compliance and content expectations but serves as both competitor (publishes own materials) and indirect channel through RTO partnerships.
• Allens Training: Large Australian RTO delivering training across first aid, high-risk work, and construction. Competes with Easy Guides indirectly through in-house developed materials and competes directly in the RTO resource buyer pool.

Direct peers

• Sunrise Training Resources: Australian supplier of vocational training resources including learner guides, workbooks, and assessment materials for RTOs across high-risk work, construction, and similar sectors to Easy Guides.
• Total Education Solutions (TES): Australian provider of training and assessment resources for RTOs across VET sectors. Directly comparable as both companies sell hard copy and digital training materials mapped to Australian units of competency to the same RTO customer base.
• Kinetik Learning Resources: Australian training resource publisher supplying learner guides, assessment tools, and compliance materials to RTOs. Closely comparable product mix, distribution model (direct-to-RTO), and regulatory-compliance positioning to Easy Guides.
• VET Resources (vocational education publishers): Multiple smaller Australian vocational training resource publishers serving the same RTO customer base with learner guides, workbooks, and assessment materials mapped to units of competency — comparable product/market fit to Easy Guides.
• Velg Training: Specialist Australian VET/RTO training and resource provider offering learning materials, professional development, and compliance resources to the same RTO buyer segment as Easy Guides.
• Eagle Training Resources: Australian publisher of training and assessment resources tailored for RTOs in high-risk work and vocational training — overlapping product catalog and customer base with Easy Guides.

Others

• CompliSpace / VETtrak (RTO compliance software): RTO management and compliance software providers serving the same Australian VET ecosystem. Adjacent rather than direct competitors — they sell software for student management/compliance while Easy Guides sells the actual training/assessment content, but the same RTO buyers evaluate both.

Emerging players

• MyLearning Pty Ltd: Australian digital learning and resource provider offering online training content for vocational and compliance training. Overlaps with Easy Guides' online eLearning programs and LLN tools but with a more digital-native delivery model.
