Class and Course Finder website launched

The new Class and Course Finder website has begun it's launch in the Mackay region in Queensland, Australia. This week marked the launch of the website where all Mackay businesses offering classes, courses, training, workshops, lessons or tutoring, are being offered a special introductory offer to list their services on the site.

The website was started by Tascia Mare who is based in the Mackay region which is why businesses in the Mackay region are being offered limited promotional specials. Tascia recognised a need within regional Queensland, and all regional areas in Australia, for training and course providers to list their services in a dedicated and specialised online directory. The Class and Course Finder website was therefore created to assist students looking for a class, course, workshop, training or tutoring service. Once on the Class and Course Finder website, potential students can conduct a search according to their particular interests and/or geographical location. This means they can find an exact match of businesses offering training or courses in their region or location.

8 Reasons to list your business with Class and Course Finder
  1. Class and Course Finder maximises its Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) to ensure potential students looking for classes or courses find our website through all the major search engines so they can find your business listing.
  2. The Class and Course Finder search function allows potential students to find you by category, sub-category, state or region. This means they will find your business offerings as an exact match to their interests and/or geographical location.
  3. Class and Course Finder allows you to promote your business by including contact details, a website address, email address, a brief description of your services and a long description outlining the types of classes or courses you offer.

New craft class offered

A new craft technique is now being offered in the Mackay and Sarina areas in Queensland. These classes are offered by Tascia Mare who teaches the craft of decoupage (the art of cutting, arranging and gluing pictures to a surface to create a beautifully finished product). Tascia teaches a range of different forms of decoupage including paper cut-outs, fabric and the new technique of paper napkins (serviettes).

The serviette decoupage technique is an effective and easy technique which is offered nowhere else in Australia. These classes teach you to create your own unique and inexpensive gifts and homewares using decorative paper serviettes to decorate just about any surface including glass, wood, candles, galvanised steel, ceramics, soaps, porcelain, enamel and fabric. Some of these methods are so simple you will be amazed at how quickly your project is to complete.

Tascia also offers classes in 3D decoupage which uses paper serviettes and clay. This technique takes a little longer, but you will be amazed at how your projects come to life. The products used in these classes are available nowhere else in Australia. For example, the product used for paper serviettes on glass, makes the decorated glass item hand washable in warm water, whilst the product used for serviettes on fabric, makes the finished fabric item machine washable. Once you learn this technique, you will discover new ways to decorate everyday items and you don't even have to be artistic or creative! The products used in these classes can be purchased.

These decoupage craft classes are currently being offered in the Mackay and Sarina area in Queensland. To find out more, click here. Here you will find an ever expanding range of unique and interesting classes, courses, training courses, workshops, lessons and tutoring services currently found in this area. This website is a dedicated online directory for anyone looking to update their skills, enhance their career or learn something fun and interesting. If you can't find the type of class, course or training provider, contact us and we will help you find what you are looking for.

Training organisations and course providers can also list their services and business offerings on the Class and Course Finder website by clicking here or you can expose your business to thousands of potential customers everyday when you advertise on the site. Our fees are so competitive you can't afford not to list or advertise with us.
