Institute of Data Courses

The Institute of Data offers intensive tech training programs in data science and AI, cyber security, and software engineering — and in Australia, these programs run in partnership with La Trobe University. That means when you complete one of these programs, you walk away with two credentials: an Institute of Data industry certification and a University Certificate of Completion from La Trobe, a university ranked in the top 1% worldwide. You also earn 30 credit points toward selected La Trobe postgraduate courses if you want to keep studying.

Programs are 12 weeks full-time or 24 weeks part-time, with in-person classes in Melbourne CBD and a remote option available. Training is hands-on and skills-focused, with more than 400 hours of project work built in — so you finish with a portfolio of real work, not just a certificate. Before you commit, you can speak with an Institute of Data Career Consultant to make sure the program is the right fit.

After you graduate, the Job Outcomes Program supports you with career coaching, resume and profile reviews, and access to the Institute of Data’s network of employers. The Institute of Data reports that 93% of active job seekers achieve job outcomes within 180 days — which is a strong track record for anyone looking to make a real career move into tech.
