Intro Courses for baseline capability
Digital Transformation. Data driven business models. Design thinking. Customer-centric ways of working. These are four of the biggest changes sweeping through organisations today. Leaders have the potential to capture value and drive impact by building capability in key emerging areas. To do this well requires a new way of operating, new mindsets and new skills toolkits.
Academy Xi helps teams and organisations keep ahead of the curve. We run training courses for staff at all levels, from beginners to career changers, practitioners and leaders.
Human-Centred Design
Embed human-centred design practices into your team’s way of working through our Intro to Human-Centred Design course

Data

Digital

Digital credential for every learner
Each learner within your team will receive a digital credential. Digital credentials are a graphical representation of the learner’s new skills, combined with a description of the knowledge and activities it took them to earn it.
Digital badges can be used in email signatures or digital resumes, and on your learner’s LinkedIn profile.
Takeaway toolkit to embed learnings
Struggled to embed learnings from past training sessions into your team’s day-to-day workflow? We hear that this is a common pain-point.
Upon completing an Academy Xi Intro Course, each learner will receive their own toolkit designed to help them easily draw on. These toolkits include practical exercises, scenarios, frameworks and devices to support continued use.

Who we've worked with
What our clients say
“Academy Xi is my learning partner not my learning provider”
Clare Di Leva
Talent and Development Leader
In my former role as Head of Learning and Development at QBE Insurance, I partnered with Academy Xi to support the business to invest in reskilling for the future. Academy Xi is my learning partner not my learning provider. They bring expertise, knowledge and skilled facilitators and then collaborate to ensure solutions resonate and feel like internal offerings as opposed to off the shelf external products. Today, I value having the Academy Xi team in my network and look forward to continuing to work with them.
“The training was a tailored experience, to ensure that all team members would get something out of it, and felt engaged”
Mary-Clare Monslave
Our team came to Academy Xi for some group training in UX & Service Design. The purpose of this training was to help establish common practices and outputs for the team. The training was a tailored experience, to ensure that all team members would get something out of it, and felt engaged.
It was a great team building exercise, and really helped us agree on methodology - which in turn helped us have a common approach within the workplace - which helped enormously in streamlining our approach.
“a level of learning and enjoyment rarely seen”
Natalie Falzon
Innovation Manager
Academy Xi bring an energy and passion to education that creates a level of learning and enjoyment rarely seen. They played an integral role in our Tech4Good Challenge Program - providing instructions, content development and class management to train our non-profit partners in Service Design, Product Management and User Experience Design. I would highly recommend Academy Xi as a training and development partner if you are looking for an industry-leading experience.
“great team building exercise”
Rabbani Karim
Assistant Director
The Intro to Human-Centred Design course was a great team building exercise. A lot of interesting concepts were covered. My team also got the opportunity to collaborate with participants from other divisions on problems specific to our organisation (as opposed to hypothetical problems). Every participant got something useful out of the day.
