About Short Courses

Short courses provide specific training in a particular area of your workplace or industry. Whether you want to learn something brand new, build upon your existing qualifications, or gain formal recognition for a particular skill in your workplace, short courses are the perfect option. From first aid to languages to leadership, there’s a huge range of nationally recognised short courses available. And the best thing is in the name – they all involve a much shorter timeframe than full degrees and higher qualifications. This makes them a great option for trying out a particular career path, enhancing your current career while still working, or turning a hobby into something more. Plus, they look great on a resume, showing that you’re committed to constantly furthering your education and professional development.

FAQs

What are short courses best used for?

Short courses are ideal for upskilling in a current role, learning a new technical skill, or exploring a new career path before committing to a full qualification.

Are short courses accredited?

Some are, but many are not. Accredited short courses are often part of larger qualifications and are delivered by Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). You can confirm accreditation at training.gov.au.

Can I use short courses for professional development?

Absolutely. Many industries accept short courses as part of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements—especially in education, health, and finance sectors.

Are there postgraduate short courses?

Yes. Many universities now offer postgraduate microcredentials or short courses in business, health, and data analytics—often online or part-time. These are ideal for professionals upskilling at an advanced level.

How do I choose the right short course?

Start by defining your goal: do you want to gain a new skill, meet an industry requirement, or explore a new pathway? Then look for courses from trusted providers with clear outcomes and relevance to your industry.
