Try the following sources in your local area who might provide training courses themselves or who may know who does provide training:

• TAFE colleges
• private providers
• the Yellow Pages ® eg under Computer Training Services
• your local library or local council may know of local training providers
• your industry association
• business advisors who are supported by government and local communities
• the e-businessguide.gov.au website under 'Resources'
• the people who sold you the computer

The following websites are primary sources of information about training courses in Australia. Look for courses in your area in e-business, e-commerce or using the Internet.

Courses throughout Australia - a Nationwide Directory of Short Courses
Courses.com.au lists 12,000 courses throughout Australia. Course providers are entitled to list their basic course details on this website for a small fee. The site is free to users.

Note on searching this site: The e-businessguide website describes e-business as "doing business using the Internet". The courses.com.au website does not use this language. Instead it focuses on the individual activities that make up e-business such as "email" or "web page design". When you search the courses.com.au database after selecting your state, click a category - either Computing & IT or Business & Finance. You can then select your regional area. Training providers are continually changing their courses, so contact them to obtain their course timetable and specific course information.

National Training Information Service
This website provides a database of vocational education and training in Australia. It contains detailed information on courses, qualifications, training packages, competency standards and training organisations.

Note on searching this site: NTIS - The National Training Information Services - provides information about accredited vocational education and training (VET) courses. Click on Courses/Qualifications, then type in e-business (with a hyphen) in the Course Title/ Qualification box. Click on search. Click on the course you are interested in and then the "Show all details for this item" button. It is also possible to limit your search by state. If you cannot find the type of course you are looking for, consider searching for business or computing. The Tips box will give you extra help.
