Full course list

A foundation-level, hands-on introduction to Microsoft Excel for the workplace. Four sessions take you from finding your way around the Excel window to entering data, writing simple formulas, formatting clearly, building charts, and managing your files. Every example is everyday and work-ready: budgets, stock lists, rosters, contact lists. Each session comes with a full take-home Word handout and starter and solution practice workbooks, so the whole course works offline, independent of this website.

Word as a document engineering tool, not a typewriter. A scenario-based group activity where you take Janelle's chaotic draft and turn it into Australia's formal bid to host the 2034 Olympics in Darwin. Practise the styles pane, multilevel numbered lists, the Table of Contents tool, tracked changes, Compare Documents, and Copilot Chat for drafting and fact-checking.

PowerPoint as a design discipline, not a slideware free-for-all. A scenario-based group activity where you take Janelle's chaotic Sunday draft and rebuild it into an IOC-grade Inspection Delegation pitch deck for the Darwin 2034 Winter Olympics. Practise slide masters, layouts, theme colours, alignment, tasteful animations and transitions, the Accessibility Checker, and Copilot Chat for drafting and rebuilding.

A modular digital literacy course for regional and remote Australian workplaces, first written for delivery in Tennant Creek. Two strands: a Digital Foundations core covering the Microsoft 365 tools most workplaces already pay for — files and sharing, email and Teams, Word, Excel — and a Working with AI strand covering prompting, Copilot, practical AI workflows, and responsible use. Sessions are deliberately unnumbered: run the lot, or just the ones your group needs.

A four-session series that helps every staff member become a harder target and a faster reporter. Plain language, real Australian examples, and habits you can use the same afternoon. Built for Northern Territory workplaces and communities; no tech background needed.

A one-day, beginner-friendly introduction to AI tools, safe online use, data privacy, and how to spot digital risks. Six hands-on sessions plus three take-home resource pages. Designed for workforce entrants and the wider community; no prior tech experience required.

Learn Microsoft Excel's Power Query through six exercises set inside a fictional dystopian Australian outback town. You'll combine messy CSV files, merge relational tables, write custom M-language functions, and reshape data for executive briefings. The dataset doubles as a discussion prompt about algorithmic bias and surveillance ethics.

Learn Power BI properly, with cyber security as the running example rather than sales figures. Load two synthetic security datasets, build a star schema, write your first DAX measures, and assemble an interactive SIEM-style dashboard with a host heatmap and KPI card row. The capstone is a threat hunt: a simulated intruder is hiding in 4,000 Windows security events, and you find them with the dashboard you built.

Four hours of Visio built around the diagrams people actually have to produce, rather than a tour of the ribbon. You draw a network from scratch and pick up the labelling conventions that separate a diagram that reads from one that does not; see how a flowchart can be generated from a table and redraw itself when the table changes; sketch a site map and a wireframe for a small website; and finish by writing the same diagrams as text in Mermaid, which needs no licence at all. A companion quick-reference crammer holds the shortcuts and menu paths, so the four hours stay on drawing.

Plain-language AI literacy for people working in research, health and community organisations. Two short courses sit side by side: everyday skills, covering what AI is, scams and deepfakes, and staying safe online; and research practice, covering prompting, literature and evidence work, hallucinations and verification, handling data responsibly, and using AI on remote connections. A full page on Indigenous Data Sovereignty, ICIP and research ethics runs through the research strand, backed by an annotated resource library of the frameworks written by and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Every page stands alone, so you can read in any order, and most come with a one-page Word cheat sheet to print and keep.

A written manual that teaches the network, identity, device, cloud and governance fundamentals a defender needs, through one current question: why can an employer see that a staff member reached a chatbot, but not what they typed into it? Thirty-three chapters across five parts take a reader from how a name resolves to an address through to Australian privacy and workplace surveillance law, with a single glossary covering the whole manual. Institution-agnostic, written for Australian conditions, and honest about where the controls stop working.

Picks up where "and now it is live" leaves off, with the two questions a working site now raises that were not part of the old curriculum. The first stream is access: build the browser-checked passcode gate an AI assistant writes for you, break it live with developer tools, then work through the three real options for a shared passcode and where secrets actually belong. The second is discoverability in a world of AI answers: how to tell a ratified standard from one party's proposal, what the research shows earns a citation, why keyword stuffing measurably backfires, and why so much AI referral traffic cannot be measured at all. Two interactive explainers carry the flagship demonstrations, and the capstone applies both streams to a site you actually run.
