Our online short courses are delivered on the OpenLearning platform to create engaging, industry-relevant learning experiences.

All your support is provided through a dedicated portal connecting you with fellow students and community members. Throughout your study, feedback is provided via discussion boards with other students.

You will become a member of a community of students, allowing you the opportunity to share, learn and network with other learners. Your enrolment is a subscription-based model, with full access to all published resources for the duration of the course. (See the specific course pages for more details.)

All course materials have been developed by Coder Academy* for self-directed learning. 

What makes us unique is the way we bring together our expertise in education with industry leaders to design courses and fill skills gaps. Our highly responsive and agile approach allows us to provide the relevant courses and micro-credentials that learners use when they want to transform their careers at pace. 

* Coder Academy is a brand of the Academy of Information Technology (AIT).

Whatever you want it to look like!

These courses are self-paced, and 100% online. You will have six weeks to complete approximately 25 hours of learning materials, and you will have full access to student discussions.

Through these learner discussions, a community of peer support is developed, and you will have the opportunity to interact regularly with others who are learning virtually alongside you.

Each course contains approximately 25 hours’ worth of learning materials and activities.

You will have six weeks to complete the course, but outside this, it’s up to you. You could complete an hour each evening if you’re fitting the course in around other commitments, or you could give yourself a more intensive bootcamp-style experience as you devote full days to the course over a shorter period of time.

We partner with Accredible to deliver digital credentials for our learners. These are graphical representations of your skills, alongside descriptions of the knowledge and learning outcomes it took to earn them.

Display your digital badge on LinkedIn, your portfolio or your website. Use it in an email signature, or post proudly on social media.

You will also gain an OpenCred certificate, and foundational knowledge of your chosen subject, allowing you to apply your new skills immediately, or to more confidently pursue further study with a solid grounding in the basics and the possibility of credit for other higher education courses of study. 

These online short courses are supported by Coder Academy, and they will equip you with the foundational skills that could set you on the learning pathway to become a cloud professional, DevOps engineer, UX designer, or full stack developer.

If you have enjoyed your short course, then you may wish to pursue an accredited Coder Academy diploma. 

Pursuing this learning pathway is a great way to further develop your skills and gain a nationally recognised qualification once you’ve tried out learning with an online short course.

Technical skills aren't the only important factor when upskilling or reskilling to further your career in the world of tech.

With self-paced, online learning, you will prove that you have what it takes to manage your time and to learn and communicate in the virtual world.

The world of tech is constantly changing, and anyone who wants to participate will have to become a lifelong learner. Micro-credentials such as those provided by our online short courses help you prove your commitment to developing your own skills to keep pace with the demands of industry.

Your six-week subscription to all course materials will cost $199AUD. Please refer to the individual course pages for further details.
