Key modules taught on these courses are not accessible to Mac users.

You will need to ensure you have the relevant software installed (with the appropriate license) on your device and can download and unzip files. If you’re unsure of software requirements, please contact the office on 1300 886 190. You may also wish to bring a USB to the training if you want to save a copy of the files at the end of the training.
