How many sessions should I have?
That is up to you. However our experience is that little long term benefit can be obtained in less than 4 sessions. The only exceptions to this is where there is a very specific problem that you want to discuss and that could be done in one session, or a start-up business idea that needs to be run past an experienced business person to determine its possible viability

How do I book to see a Mentor?
There are two methods. Either select the Mentor that you think is best suited to your business needs from the
About Our Mentors tab or secondly go straight to the
Book your Program tab where you will be able to choose the Mentor you want, fill in the online form and email your request immediately.

How long does it take from when I email the booking form to seeing the Mentor?
Assuming that payment has been made by the credit card option you should get a call from the Victorian Business Centre after a few working days and once the confirmation letter is emailed, your Mentor should be in contact with you within a further 3 days. Allow therefore 5 to 6 working days. If paying by Direct Bank Deposit or by Cheque you should allow a further 3 to 4 days.
-
Will I have a choice of Mentor?
Yes, you choose a Mentor by their business experience and skills. You will be given the names of those Mentors who best match your choice in the
About Our Mentors tab. You can then read about them by clicking on their C.V.’s.
-
Will the Mentor I choose be the one that I will get?
Not necessarily, this is why we ask you to choose three Mentors from the list given to you. As volunteers our Mentors are sometimes quite committed and might not be able to take on your mentoring. However you will be matched with a Mentor that fits as closely as possible to your requirements and when the booking arrangement is being confirmed you will be told who your Mentor is to be and can give your approval.
-
Once I have completed the number of sessions applied for, am I able to have further sessions with my Mentor?
Yes. We have many clients that still seek the support of their Mentor after the program has finished. Mentors are there to help you for as long as you need their help. .
