What Interskill does

Interskill is a privately held, Western Australian IT training company headquartered at 145 Stirling Highway, Nedlands (Perth), that delivers live, instructor-led technical courses across 50+ subject areas including programming languages (Java, C++, C#, Python, Ruby, Perl, PHP), web development (JavaScript, jQuery, AJAX, ASP.NET), database administration (Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, DB2), enterprise Java frameworks (Spring, Struts, Hibernate, JBoss, EJB3, JPA2), IBM z/OS mainframe tooling, business analysis, UML modelling, and software testing. Founded in 1990 and operating with a 1–10 employee footprint, the company delivers all training on a single site in Perth using a hands-on, classroom-based format with course materials sourced from external providers and retained by students. Courses are scheduled for public enrollment with a minimum of three participants required to guarantee a run; per-participant pricing ranges from AUD 975 for a 1-day SQL Advanced Querying course to AUD 3,750 for a 5-day C++ Programming Introduction.

The business sells primarily to corporate organizations in Western Australia — including large resource, energy, utilities, government, and healthcare employers such as BHP Billiton, Woodside, Western Power, Water Corporation, Landgate, the WA Department of Health, CBH Group, Conoco Phillips, Fujitsu, HBF, Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, and RAC — alongside individual professionals seeking skills development. Go-to-market is direct, primarily via the company website (interskill.com.au) which hosts a course catalog, scheduling calendar, and educational blog, supplemented by social media channels and direct email inquiry. Revenue is generated on a per-course, pay-as-you-go professional services basis with no subscription, recurring contract, or platform component disclosed; no funding rounds, parent company, or institutional ownership are indicated in the available material.

From a strategic-activity standpoint, the disclosed footprint is small: there are no funding events, M&A transactions, leadership changes, partnerships, geographic expansions, or regulatory actions in the data. The company's recorded strategic moves are limited to incremental course launches between 2014 and 2016 (notably AJAX Programming Introduction, Agile Business Analysis, Enterprise Architect, and a Java Enterprise EJB3/JPA2/Hibernate/JBoss suite) and an October 2024 homepage refresh; the most recent blog entry dates to September 2018, and most course imagery is from 2014–2016, suggesting a maintenance-mode operating posture rather than active scaling.
