Our Purpose
We bridge employability gaps, addressing a global problem by delivering quality learning with experience.
The modern workforce needs employees with demonstrable capability but current education and recruitment practices mainly reward those with knowledge.
Our courses deliver succinct learning outcomes without unnecessary hurdles. Learners can apply and evidence their new skills quickly and employers benefit from having a more productive workforce with less downtime.
Furthermore, our training solutions are readily customised for the ever-changing needs of business and learners.
Course content
Satinbird Education delivers a range of microcredentials that have been inspired from nationally-accredited VET sector training packages. The development process behind the scenes was to look at the most critical components of a job role, and to create short, sharp, high impact programs that allow a participant to rapidly acquire the skills or knowledge relevant to that area of interest.
We also work with industry partners to develop specialised learning materials that address immediate needs and bring long term benefits.
What's in it for you?
Gone are the packaging frills, gone are the drudge assignments and gone are the wasted hours in compliance. Here instead are the nuggets required for you to immediately start building your capabilities and delivering new skills into your workplace.
What about employers?
Employers are also winners with Satinbird courses. Because the courses suit a wide range of capabilities, they allow for broader upskilling within and across your business.
Your employees need not be out of the workplace for days and their newly gained skills can be deployed in real time.
