AWS and Microsoft Content

Whether you need foundational training, or training in a particular specialty like Security or Machine Learning, Bespoke Training has access to AWS and Microsoft experts.

Our Lunch and Learns can be run in as little as 4 weeks and are designed for L&D and HR Managers, Tech Team Leads, IT Managers, and CTOs to upskill their teams.

Micro-learning to suit your organisation

These are the hot topics currently in demand.

AI and Machine Learning

AI and ML are very hot topics at the moment, as organisations strive to keep up with the changing technologies and ways of working. We can tailor a lunch and learn specifically to bring your team up to speed, and share some tips for moving forward.

Cybersecurity

Security of your data is currently the biggest threat to Australian and New Zealand organisations. Whether you need to increase awareness, or delve into a specific cybersecurity topic, we can help. Utilising all the existing cloud online infrastructure and array of apps can be challenging.

Data Analysis

Data is the new gold. Whether it’s data storage, data security or data analysis, there is no denying the need to be constantly upskilling on data. As organisations continue to rely on data to drive decision-making and innovation, staying ahead of the curve is essential for maintaining a competitive edge.
