What EdTech Group does

EdTech Group (legal entity: Skilligence Pty Ltd, incorporated in Queensland, Australia) is a national, privately-held education and training organisation that delivers digital technology and cyber security education across K-12, vocational, corporate, and consumer segments in Australia. The group operates an integrated portfolio of purpose-driven brands: Comtech Training (RTO 90933), a nationally Registered Training Organisation issuing accredited qualifications in telecommunications, network engineering, technical security and cyber security with 26,000+ graduates since 2006 and a 92% completion rate; Junior Engineers, a K-12 digital technologies platform aligned to the Australian Curriculum offering coding, robotics and STEM programs; and CyberPathways, which delivers cyber security education, boot camps and the Australian Schools Cyber Challenge competition to businesses and schools. The group also includes Fire & Wattle, an Indigenous-owned Supply Nation-registered joint venture providing First Nations cultural capabilities training and cyber awareness, and supports Deadly Coders, an independent Indigenous charity delivering subsidised STEM programs.

Underpinning the portfolio is a proprietary AI-powered eLearning platform that provides adaptive quizzes, AI tutoring (launched December 2025), real-time coding environments with pre-recorded graded video tutorials, and automated reporting dashboards for student and organisational progress tracking. The platform supports multimodal delivery across text, video, code, and structured data.

EdTech Group's business model spans four revenue streams: (1) accredited vocational qualifications with course-fee revenue (Comtech); (2) fee-for-service non-accredited cyber security awareness training, professional development, and bespoke corporate programs (CyberPathways, Junior Engineers); (3) parent-funded extra-curricular coding and robotics clubs, term programs and holiday workshops (Junior Engineers); and (4) school incursion and curriculum extension services delivered on-site. Go-to-market is a sales-led B2B model with direct engagement of schools, corporates and government clients (including TAFE Queensland and Brisbane Grammar School), supplemented by direct-to-consumer enrolment through school partnerships. The company employs 51-100 staff, is headquartered in Milton, Brisbane, and operates a national network of training centres across Australia.

Direct peers

• GO1: Australian-founded B2B EdTech aggregating compliance, professional, and cyber training content onto a single LMS-style platform. Closest comparable to EdTech Group's mix of accredited VET + non-accredited corporate learning on a proprietary platform.
• KnowBe4: Global leader in security awareness and simulated phishing training for enterprises. Directly overlaps CyberPathways' corporate cyber awareness training offering with a similar security-awareness thesis and recurring SaaS revenue model.
• Codecademy: Interactive online coding platform with structured curricula, real-time coding environments, and skill progression dashboards. Directly comparable to Junior Engineers Online's AI-powered adaptive coding learning experience for K-12 and adult learners.
• Open Colleges: Australia-based online vocational education provider offering accredited Certificate IV and diploma programs. Most direct Australian VET competitor to Comtech Training (RTO 90933) with a similar online-first delivery model.
• Upskilled: Australian online VET provider delivering accredited ICT, cyber security, and networking qualifications to individuals and corporate clients. Overlaps with Comtech's vocational offerings in the same ANZ market.
• CybSafe: Behavioural cyber security awareness and training platform. Compares to CyberPathways' emphasis on cyber awareness outcomes for organisations, though delivered via software rather than instructor-led programs.

Broad incumbents

• Skillsoft: Large established enterprise learning platform spanning professional development, compliance, and technology (including cyber) training. A broad incumbent rather than a direct niche competitor, but overlaps EdTech Group's corporate and accredited technology training footprint.

Emerging players

• TryHackMe: Cyber security training platform built around hands-on hacking labs and guided learning paths. Highly comparable to CyberPathways' hyper-realistic cyber range approach, particularly for individual learners and capture-the-flag style competitions like the Australian Schools Cyber Challenge.

Regional players

• SafeStack: New Zealand-based application and cyber security training provider for developers and organisations. Closely adjacent to CyberPathways in the ANZ cyber training market with comparable enterprise customer engagement model.
• Code Avengers: New Zealand-headquartered coding education platform with K-12 and adult learning paths. Comparable to Junior Engineers Online's interactive coding curriculum aligned to national curriculum standards, though operating across the Tasman rather than within Australia.
