Our story

Built by educators, for students.

EQC Institute is a specialist Australian college for information technology. Our lead team has over 30 years of education experience, and we started the college to deliver quality education with a focus on each student as a person, with their own goals and direction.

Our education team writes all of our own curriculum material. There's no tick-box, minimum-standards approach here. Every course, every lesson and every conversation is built to give you the care, precision and simplicity you deserve.

You can study online from anywhere in Australia, or learn face to face with our educators at our campuses in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Newcastle and the Gold Coast.

What we stand for

Four values that guide how we teach.

Commitment

We're committed to you as a student and to the industry you'll work in. Industries grow when they have skilled people, and that's who we train.

Accessibility

Life doesn't stop while you study. Our materials are simple to follow and our online learning platform is easy to use.

Innovation

Just because something works doesn't mean it's the best way. We keep looking for better ways to teach.

Openness

We're learners too. We're open to what you bring: your experience, your feedback and what we can achieve together.

How you learn

Real skills, not just theory.

Our courses are built around the tools, systems and techniques used in today's technology workplaces.

Practical, real-world scenarios

You learn by doing, working through the kinds of tasks and tools you'll use on the job.

Industry-experienced course coaches

Your course coach is an industry expert who knows their field inside out and genuinely cares about helping you succeed.

No formal exams or lectures

Study at your own pace, with support from your coach and our student services team the whole way through.

Our education team

Meet some of our educators.

Our trainers are hand-picked for three things: a genuine passion for education, real expertise in their field and great communication skills.
