Institute of Data

The Institute of Data is a specialist tech training organisation that offers intensive, practical programs in data science and artificial intelligence, cyber security, and software engineering. In Australia, these programs are delivered in partnership with La Trobe University, combining the Institute of Data’s industry-led training model with the academic standing of a university ranked in the top 1% worldwide. Programs are available full-time (12 weeks) or part-time (24 weeks), with in-person classes in Melbourne CBD and remote options available.

Each program is designed to get students job-ready, with more than 400 hours of training and project work included. Rather than focusing purely on theory, the Institute of Data puts practical, hands-on learning at the centre of every course. Graduates receive both an Institute of Data industry certification and a University Certificate of Completion from La Trobe University, with 30 credit points applicable toward selected La Trobe postgraduate courses.

Prospective students can speak with an Institute of Data Career Consultant before committing to a program. A dedicated Job Outcomes Program supports graduates through resume reviews, career coaching, and access to the Institute of Data’s industry network — with 93% of active job seekers achieving job outcomes within 180 days of graduation.
