TEN The Education Network

What TEN The Education Network does

Television Education Network Pty Ltd, trading as TEN The Education Network (tved.net.au), is a privately-held Australian professional development company headquartered in Melbourne that delivers accredited continuing professional development (CPD) content to lawyers, accountants, HR professionals, and the charity, school, and religious sectors. Founded in 1975 as the Business Law Education Centre (BLEC), the company was restructured in 1991 into its present corporate form and began delivering online services via the web in 1997. Its owners also operate parallel Television Education Network-branded professional development services in the United States (The CPA Report) and the United Kingdom (multiple vertical Channels).

The company's core product is a multi-format CPD platform comprising approximately 300 live webinars per year, recorded on-demand webinars, two-day national conferences (held on the Gold Coast and in Melbourne), specialist webinar series, masterclasses, audio programs (Sound Education), and bundled compliance products (CPD Power Packs and the 10 Point Plan). Subscription offerings include Lawyers Webinar Select, Accountants Webinar Select, and Sound Education subscriptions, each providing access to recorded webinars, technical papers, and audio content. Underlying technology is a standard e-learning stack: a self-serve e-commerce CMS, live streaming and on-demand video delivery, podcast hosting, and an in-platform CPD tracking/reporting tool. The platform supports interactive quizzes and records CPD activity for Australian jurisdictions, with content accredited across legal and accounting professional bodies. Distribution is direct via the owned website and owned social channels (YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), supplemented by national conference sponsorships; physical CD products are shipped via Australia Post.

TEN operates an event-driven, sales-led go-to-market model. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time purchases (individual webinars, conferences, webinar series, masterclasses, e-books) and recurring subscriptions. Pricing is in Australian dollars inclusive of GST: individual recorded webinars around A$269.50, webinar series at approximately A$1,100 for five programs, and two-day conferences at A$1,826–A$2,519 per attendee with group discounts of 5–15%. The company serves two primary customer personas — Australian lawyers fulfilling mandatory CPD (10 points/year) and accountants meeting triennium requirements (120 hours/three years) — alongside secondary segments in HR, charities/NFPs, and schools. Conferences achieve 4.8–4.9/5 satisfaction scores with up to 50% repeat attendance. With approximately 20 employees, the business is founder-owned, has no disclosed institutional funding, and has no public listing.
