At My Learning Online, we have a variety of flexible online courses that suit a range of interests and cover some of the most popular industries in Australia. Whether you’re looking to get ahead, learn a new hobby or give yourself an edge on competitors, we’re with you every step of the way.
Working with animals
Some of our most popular online courses in Australia involve working with animals. If you love animals and want to see them happy and healthy, our Vet Assistant course might just be perfect for you. Otherwise, consider making an impact on animals’ lives with a course in Animal Welfare!
Pet care is also an incredibly lucrative industry in Australia and it’s boomed over the course of the pandemic. According to research, one-third of Australians welcomed a new pet into their home due to shifting work patterns and staying at home more.
Our extensive range of Animal Care courses is an excellent place to start if you want to break into this industry. We’ve also got you covered on a number of courses focused on Dog Grooming, Training and Cat Care that will allow you to run your own business!
Courses in agriculture and farming
If there’s one lucrative industry with career satisfaction and staying power, it’s Agriculture. The great outdoors is your office and you get to work on the land every day. Agriculture has always been one of the biggest industries in Australia, both in domestic production and value of exports.
In fact, it adds a gross value of 43.5bn dollars to the country’s GDP, and the leading commodities produced by value are cattle and calves. We have a series of high-quality Cattle Farming Courses available with dedicated courses in Dairy, Beef and Livestock Management.
If you’re more interested in growing produce, check out our courses on Agronomy, Viticulture and Certificate in Agriculture. We also have a course all about Organic Farming and Sustainable Agriculture, if you’re passionate about making the farming industry more environmentally friendly.
Online lifestyle courses
If you dream of working from home or you want to create a better work-life balance, a Lifestyle Career might just be what you’re after.
If you’re interested in how the food we eat impacts our health and wellbeing, we have courses in Sports Nutrition, Maternal and Children’s Nutrition and Nutrition Business. From here, you can start your own nutrition coaching business, go into further education and have a real, positive impact on people’s lives.
Personal and professional transformation coaching has also grown to become some of the most in-demand jobs in light of the pandemic with many people pausing to re-evaluate what they want from their lives. The industry grew by 51% in 2020!
Building a career in this industry can be highly rewarding as you get to guide people towards a life they thrive in. One of our most popular lifestyle courses, the Life Coaching, Health and Wellbeing Certificate, is designed to help you start your own business or work for a company in the space of life coaching.
Small business, admin and reception courses
Admin roles are the backbone of the Australian economy. Developing your skills using one of our small business, admin and reception courses can open up a diverse range of career opportunities and make you highly employable in any industry you choose to pursue.
Our popular short business course, Project Management and Leadership is perfect for those who want to gain the confidence to take their current role to leadership level. It can also pave the way for opportunities in project management, an in-demand industry with an expected growth of 33% by 2027!
Another valuable skill is bookkeeping and administration in small trade and construction. Both small trade and construction are huge industries in Australia, however, many small to medium companies struggle when it comes to the admin, bookkeeping and tax side of their business.
This is where you step in. Not only will you have the skills needed to be a vital business support worker, but you will also have a basic knowledge of the principles and terminology used in these industries.
Beauty therapy courses
The beauty industry is fast-paced and competitive in Australia, but our dedicated beauty courses can hone your skills and help you stand out. The industry has a diverse range of career opportunities to explore if you love makeup and a flair for creativity.
One of our most in-demand courses is Makeup Artistry, which teaches you the theoretical and practical skills you need to succeed as a makeup artist. With this certificate, you can build a career in bridal makeup, fashion, entertainment or set up your very own salon!
In an industry that is constantly changing, it’s important for beauty professionals to stay on top of trends and practice their skills. For this reason, we have a range of some of the best specialised online short courses in Australia, including Eyebrow Henna, Eyebrow Lamination and Eyelash Lift and Tint.
Photography courses
Photography is an industry that champions talent and creativity above all. You can also specialise in a range of sectors such as journalism, food photography, wildlife photography or special occasions. The choice is yours!
As a photographer, two days are rarely the same. If that excites you and you love the idea of building a flexible career out of your creativity, then check out our five beginner-friendly Photography courses.
