Self-paced technology courses for non-technical teams
These courses help managers and teams make sound decisions about the software they buy, connect, and roll out, without needing to become IT specialists.
Each course works through realistic cases, from a licence review to a rollout plan, and ends with a document you sign and can hand to your organisation, such as a decision note or a rollout sheet.

- TechnologyChoosing Technology for Your TeamAvailable now
Choosing Technology for Your Team teaches team leaders and managers to compare tools against the real work, including doing nothing, and to count the cost of switching in and out.

No-Code Automation for Everyday Work teaches administrators, coordinators and team leads to build one small automation for a repeating task in a tool they already have. You finish with a tested automation and a signed automation note that records what it does, how you will know it has stopped, and how to switch it off.
- TechnologyFrom Spreadsheets to Simple SystemsAvailable now
From Spreadsheets to Simple Systems teaches people whose team depends on a large spreadsheet to see what each part does and where it could quietly go wrong. You finish with a one-page map of the workbook that shows what should stay, what should move to a list or system, and what should be retired.
- TechnologyData Skills for People Who Are Not AnalystsAvailable now
Data Skills for People Who Are Not Analysts teaches managers and specialists who act on figures to check what a number claims, where it came from and whether a comparison is fair. You finish with a checklist already tested on a real table, so decisions rest on numbers that are safe to use.
- TechnologySecurity Decisions for Non-Technical TeamsAvailable now
Security Decisions for Non-Technical Teams teaches team leaders and office managers to see how their team really shares accounts, files and devices, and which of those habits could cause serious harm. You finish with an exposure list for your own team and three changes to make this week, each with an owner and a date.
- TechnologyDigital Change for ManagersAvailable now
Digital Change for Managers teaches line managers leading a change of tool to describe it as the things their people will stop and start doing, and to plan for the harder first two weeks. You finish with a two-week plan for your own team, so the change holds and every objection gets a proper answer.
- TechnologyTechnology Decisions for Non-Technical LeadersAvailable now
Technology Decisions for Non-Technical Leaders teaches directors, heads of department and business owners to read a technology proposal in terms of the work and obligations being bought. You finish with a one-page decision note for a real proposal and a ninety-day test with a clear measure, so someone is accountable for the result.
- TechnologyConnecting the Tools Your Team Already UsesAvailable now
Connecting the Tools Your Team Already Uses teaches operations leads and team managers to replace one handoff where work is retyped between two tools with a tested, tightly scoped connection. You finish with a handoff map showing exactly where a person must still check, and your team loses less time to double entry.
- TechnologyRunning a Technology RolloutAvailable now
Running a Technology Rollout teaches project leads and operations managers to introduce a new tool in stages, from a small first group to the whole organisation. You finish with a rollout sheet that sets out the behaviour you expect, an owner and date for each group, and the sign that the tool has stuck.
Questions about these courses
- Who are the technology courses for?
- They are written for managers, team leads, and operations staff who choose, buy, or introduce software but do not work in IT. No coding or technical training is assumed.
- What will I produce?
- Every course ends with a practical document built from your own work, such as a choice record, an automation note, or a rollout sheet. You sign it, and it becomes the record an employer can verify online.
- How long do the courses take?
- Most take between two and three hours, studied at your own pace. Progress is saved to your account, so you can stop and return whenever you need to.
If your team would benefit from a trainer in the room, our trainer-led courses are listed on the Academy.
