What makes HEX Ed different?

We believe in doing things we’re passionate about.

When we’re doing things we don’t want to do, we’re not doing our best. So our goal is to stick to the stuff we’re passionate about. No taking on work that doesn’t thrill us.
Building features that actually make a difference
Letting employees take active ownership over their work
No burn-out from back-breaking work

Communicate Strong relationships are built on communication.

We don’t leave things unsaid. Because unsaid is often just another word for misunderstood. We over-communicate so everyone stays on the same page.
Letting everyone hold the mic
Honest, open communication
Even about the hard things

People first, profits later Building an environment people like working in.

By honest, we don’t mean harsh. We put kindness and empathy at the centre of our business, so we, our employees and our customers enjoy working together.
Unlimited paid leaves
Health insurance for all
Flexible work hours

Stay fresh Take action. Do unique, fun things.

We’ll admit: we’re not over-thinkers. We believe in action. We want to make things. Fast. We’re always about innovation.
Try new things
Even if that means failing a bit
Get to execution faster

Keep your feet on the ground Be confident, but down-to-earth.

As our lord and saviour Kendrick Lamar says, sit down, be humble. We don’t want to be another Valley tech bro (no offense). We want to remember our roots.
Being an active listener
Constantly learning
Adapting to all social groups and situations
Work alongside your mentors

What our hexies are saying

It all clicked when I found an entrepreneurship program like HEX.
This was a canvas where I could create the change I wanted to see in the world. HEX is really great at delivering the content in new and exciting ways.
Nathaniel
CEO, Future Minds
The program was very solid.
I learned a lot about how best to present myself and my idea. The program really helped me cement my idea and taught me a lot about presentation skills, which is something I'll absolutely use in the future.
Ben
Student
A program like no other!
Every school and student should definitely go through this. An opportunity for hands-on learning, growth and gaining insights into entrepreneurship.

These things cannot be learnt from books!
Beulah

Thank you so much for experience that I will treasure for life.
This has been an experience I do not regret! Despite being anxious about coming in with a minimal business background I think I was able to gain so much more.
Angela
Student
I don’t need to wait to make my impact in the chosen space.
Out of the entrepreneurial extracurriculars I’ve taken, HEX was the first arena that enabled me to explore my own idea. Often, I’d do team based work or work on someone’s case idea.

Would recommend this course to anyone and everyone.
The program is just so useful and everyone should do it regardless of if you are an aspiring entrepreneur or not. It makes you look at things differently and consider alternatives to the norm.

Frequently asked questions

Do not worry, here are some questions we always get for our program.

How much does HEX Career Accelerator cost?

HEX Career Accelerator costs AUD $495 per learner. However, if you wish to purchase in bulk, you may be eligible for an exclusive discount. Get in touch with us to learn more.

Are there any options to get funding or scholarships for this program?

We have over $1 million AUD in funding from various universities who are able to sponsor or subsidise your program cost. View our list of current available funding.
Explore Funding Here.We also recommend chatting with your Study Abroad or Global Mobility office for all enquiries regarding program funding.

What are the assessments like?

We don't believe in long and boring exams, so assessments (which we call checkpoints) have been designed to be practical in order to equip you with the right mindset, skillset, and toolset!

Our checkpoints, regardless of the unit,  can range from reflective or research focussed (i.e. asking you a series of questions so you can explore your relationship/attitude/behavior with money and set some financial goals), and others will be practical (i.e. creating a business plan or completing a business case project).

Each checkpoint will be graded by our team of assessors, so you will get feedback as you progress through the course. Some checkpoints are a hurdle requirement and are graded as P/F, whereas others are scored. You will be required to submit all checkpoints within the program dates in order to receive your credit (That's 6 checkpoints in 6 weeks).

Can I receive academic credit for this program?

HEX Career Accelerator does not include a Certificate of Completion issued by an accredited university. If you wish to obtain one, you can do so for an addition cost of $350 AUD.

This certificate is recognised by most universities for credit equivalency. However, this isn’t guaranteed, and you’ll need to check with your own university about how much credit you can get and for which subjects. We recommend you get in touch with our team at hello@startwithhex.com, who will be able to help you navigate this with your course advisor.

The dates don't suit me. What do I do? 

This can happen! We have multiple intakes throughout the year, so if the upcoming cohort doesn't work, we suggest you book your spot for a future cohort. Please get in touch with hello@startwithhex.com and we'll sort you out.

What if I cannot finish the HEX program within 6 weeks?

That's the beauty of HEX, you will not be left behind! We are moving as one unit. We've got you. However, if you have special needs or an illness, please let us know so we can best support you.

Stay in the HEXiverse!
