About Edwin Zywko-Hicks

Edwin brings an unusually broad career to the training room, spanning trade apprenticeship, enterprise software development at BHP, product management at Telstra, and vocational education. He holds a Graduate Diploma of Management (Learning) and a Bachelor of Business, and teaches business, leadership, and project management qualifications across all Indus campuses. His real-world experience gives students something textbooks rarely can: context that makes theory stick.

BIOGRAPHY

Edwin’s career is one of genuine range. He began as a toolmaking apprentice, earning the title of NSW Toolmaking Apprentice of the Year, before winning a Rotary Foundation Technical Scholarship to study in England for twelve months. From there his path moved into technology and enterprise, spending years across various BHP divisions working in computer programming and developing B2B ecommerce solutions using EDI.

At Telstra, Edwin held product management roles across B2B EDI and was centrally involved in the planning and development of Telstra’s international VoIP network, presenting solutions to corporate and government agencies alongside account management teams. Among the more distinctive projects in his career, he programmed the CNC equipment used to cut the stainless steel for the flagpole atop Parliament House in Canberra.

He now brings that depth of industry experience into vocational education, teaching business, leadership, and project management qualifications including the Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management, Diploma of Business, and Diploma of Project Management. He also acts as subject matter expert to business trainers across all campuses.

His qualifications include a Graduate Diploma of Management (Learning), Bachelor of Business in Computing and Management Information Systems, and a full suite of leadership, business, and training credentials.

Edwin’s approach is straightforward: connect theory to real situations students will actually face. The industry examples he draws on tend to generate exactly the kind of discussion that makes learning land.
