Welcome to

CSOC Academy

CSOC Academy is an Australian member of the global TRECCERT network. We deliver training that enables individuals to achieve independent certification of their knowledge and skills in managing cyber security and artificial intelligence systems. 

We also assist organisations to lift their workforce capability through the development of standard operating procedures and the provision of training programs that are tailored to each client’s specific requirements.

Our training programs are mainly based on widely recognised Standards developed by the International Organisation for Standards (ISO).

We have the capacity to deliver in-person training events throughout Australia as well as fully-online via our rich digital platform and virtual classrooms.

“Training is about more than gaining knowledge. It’s about undertaking regular practise with real-world tools and techniques until the trainee can consistently apply their skills at a high standard.”

Global Coverage

The TRECCERT network operates in more than 20 countries across 6 continents, now including Australia.

Over 70 trainers

Drawing on the expertise of over 70 certified trainers we can cover a wide range of topics, based on demanded competencies and best practices.

Satisfied participants

High satisfaction levels among previous participants is demonstrated by consistently high survey rankings including an average 71.5 NetPromoter score.

Our Mission

At CSOC Academy we know the transformative value of education & training. Our co-founders share decades of experience in business, technology and vocational education and have seen first-hand the benefits that effective training provides to individuals and their organisations.

Recent research by Australia’s Future Skills Organisation* suggests that “Every worker must now be digitally enabled”. By 2026, 1.3 million people (9% of the Australian workforce) will need to be digital experts while 6.3 million (44%) will need to be digitally enabled. 

Reaching these targets will help organisations address the major concerns of the digital economy like cyber security and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence.

Standards-based training provides the best approach for equipping Australian professionals with the digital skills they need. Our mission is to provide standards-based training and consulting that will make a substantial contribution to Australia’s digitally enabled targets.
