Why students choose a small specialist RTO
At a large provider, students can become a ticket number or one face in a crowded online session. Automation Skills is deliberately smaller and focused on IT qualifications, so trainers can understand each student’s goals, experience and progress.
That means more useful conversations, context-aware feedback and support from people who know the course work and the technology behind it. When a student is stuck on code, a database, an API or a project decision, the discussion stays practical and specific.
AI is rapidly changing the way software development is done so choose an RTO that understands and will prepare you for the next generation of software development design and delivery
Experience that reaches beyond the classroom
- Software experience before the classroom
Our lead trainer began in software development on varied projects and still creates software for real world release. To many trainers only teach and forget the practical skills required to actually deliver a software project. - Global technical training leadership
Our lead trainer has created software for over 30 years and has led national and global technical teams. He has also architected and been a trusted technical advisor on countless real world projects for customers around the world. - Breadth across real systems
Industry work has covered software development, PLCs, SCADA, MES, databases, networking, virtual machines, web technologies, online platforms and customer-facing technical projects. In multiple industries like Power Generation and Distribution, Water and Waste Water, Manufacturing, Mining, IT, Smart Cities and more. - Education designed around people
Training experience includes small groups, university guest lecturing, academic partnerships, virtual online labs, and learning platforms. Our lead trainer is an expert in explaining complex technical subjects in simple language using easy to understand analogies.
Student focused by design
Automation Skills suits learners who want a structured route into programming and application development. Because groups are intentionally kept smaller, trainers can adjust explanations, identify gaps, challenge confident learners and spend time on the problems that matter.
Students still need time, reliable internet access, a suitable computer and a willingness to practise. In return, they get an adult learning environment with direct access to trainers, honest guidance and project feedback grounded in real delivery experience—not inflated career promises.
