The vision for Tactile Learning Centre was born in early 2000 when Gordon Kelly (Founding Director) visited a community initiative in LA called the Dream Centre.
Gordon was inspired by the people at the Dream Centre who used their skills to help give those in need opportunity.
In returning to Australia Gordon decided that through training he could use the skills he had to give opportunity to those who needed it most. The training was to be a Tactile experience involving hands-on learning coupled with support and mentoring.
Fast-track 20 years and we have not drifted from our original vision. Over the years Gordon's sons, Andrew and David, sharing the same vision have joined the team and brought a fresh enthusiasm. Our team of trainers has continued to grow with people with skills and passions which align with ours. As we train more and more students each year our focus on the individual students only increases.
