“I wish to thank the Australian Business Awards for selecting our company as ABA100 Winners of the Australian Business Award for Training Innovation.
“We are honoured to receive this recognition of the innovation behind our delivery of a world-class training experience. Cyber security systems are only as good as the people who sit behind the administration and monitoring of these products to limit impacts and quarantine cyber-attacks when they occur. Quality training and the innovation that supports it is vital in teaching students the Best Practice Methodology recommended by the manufacturers to reduce cyber risk and stay ahead of attackers.
“From humble beginnings, founded in Sydney, we have grown into an international information technology certification training company, proudly representing some of the world’s most prominent information technologies. We provide an essential function, enabling students with accredited certification training so they can better protect their companies from cyber-attacks. During Covid, we saw a spike in these attacks worldwide and the disruption they cause; this training reduces the risk of such attacks. We have expanded the company outside and offer global training services, with offices covering more than 120 Countries. With over 98% of students recommending Red Education, we are incredibly proud of our service to the IT community. The student experience is the beating heart of the business, and this couldn’t have been achieved without every employee focused on delivering a premium outcome to empower students with the necessary skills to manage critical IT services.”

Red Education’s training programs
Red Education provides a comprehensive suite of training programs covering the world’s major cyber security technologies. This is done through learning pathways to industry-recognised certifications. Red Education currently works with nineteen leading vendor technologies.
Training Innovation: Virtual Instructor-led Training
For Red Education, the most significant wave of innovation impacting their training has taken place in the last two years. With the universal move online necessitated by the global COVID-19 pandemic, Red Education was forced to find an alternative to its traditional face-to-face classroom-based training delivery. The company moved to an innovative Virtual Instructor-led Training (VILT) model. This benefits both students and the global business community facing a new wave of cyber threats as well as a growing skills gap.
Virtual Laboratories
The VILT model is supported by custom-built virtual laboratories. These simulations of real-world environments allow students to practice classroom learning using a practical, kinaesthetic methodology, improving their overall understanding and minimising the potential for costly errors after training.
Customer Service, Support and Training
As all Red Education training is instructor-led, customer service and support for its students generally take place during the training itself. Students are surveyed by both the technology vendor and Red Education. Feedback via surveys and reviews is taken very seriously within the organisation, which supports the principles of Kaizen, striving to achieve continuous process improvement and best practice approaches.
Delivering An Outstanding User Experience
Red Education has transformed its approach to meet the needs of the IT Industry, offering flexible and best-practice pathways to certification with instructor-led training and virtual labs at their core. It measures user experience and uses feedback continually improve its systems and delivery to meet the expectations of the IT community. Red Education fulfills an extremely valuable service in upskilling and addressing the widening gap between the needs of organisations and their existing skillset.
Unique Value Proposition: The Red Education Instructor Team
Red Education has many advantages as compared with its competitors. It is committed to innovation, technology-agnostic, has training not technology sales as its sole focus and has a truly global structure and standards. However, the number one factor that differentiates Red Education from its competitors is the quality of its instructor team, as evidenced by technology vendor awards, student reviews, and the increasing numbers of students who vote with their feet and attend Red Education training programs.
