About ISH

Built around education. Close to the people who run it.

Your organisation has its own purpose, people and plans. ISH is the team behind onCourse, the platform that brings course information, enrolments, communications and everyday operations together. We work with you to understand what you want to achieve, what needs to work well and where practical support can help.

How we work

A platform behind you. People beside you.

You bring knowledge of your learners, programs and organisation. onCourse provides established capabilities for running courses. ISH helps your team understand those capabilities, prepare an appropriate setup and work through agreed next steps. Our aim is for your team to become more capable and confident in the work it needs to do.

Our experience in vocational education and training has shaped the care we bring to learner records, enrolments and reporting.

A business carried forward.

Ari founded ISH in 2000. Today, his cousin Peter Maniatis leads the business as Managing Director, working alongside Ari’s brother Theo to carry it forward. Its next chapter builds on that foundation: a maintained education platform, close customer relationships and thoughtful development around the work education teams need to do.

Peter is Managing Director and leads ISH from our Melbourne head office. Product Manager Sambid Bajracharya is based in Traralgon, Gippsland, and the team also has a presence in Sydney. We work with education providers across Australia while retaining the company’s NSW heritage.
