What CLASS Training does

CLASS Training is an Australian IT training company that delivers instructor-led courses for Microsoft Office applications, accounting software, cloud platforms, and emerging AI tools. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Albury, New South Wales, the company serves individuals, small-to-medium businesses, and government organizations across the NSW-Victoria border region, with additional training facilities in Wagga Wagga and Shepparton. The company operates as a division of Jenelle Press Pty Limited (ACN 054 152 242) under ABN 87 054 152 242, with Mark Mannering as owner and primary instructor since the firm's inception.

The product portfolio comprises structured training courses delivered across three formats: face-to-face classroom sessions at the Albury training centre (typically one-day durations), live online sessions conducted via GoToWebinar (typically 1-3 hours), and self-paced on-demand e-learning. Course offerings span Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, Project, Teams, OneDrive/SharePoint, Xero, MYOB, and Adobe Suite, with a recently introduced "Mastering AI" module covering ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. Public course pricing is unit-based at approximately A$249 for live online sessions and A$399 for full-day face-to-face courses, with closed/corporate training quoted on a bespoke multi-year basis. Course scheduling and bookings run on the Arlo training and event management platform.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: public scheduled courses (professional services), customized corporate training delivered on-site at client premises or via closed online sessions, and one-time sales of training manuals and workbooks. Distribution blends direct engagement (phone, email inquiry, field sales with corporate accounts) and content marketing (a blog with video tutorials, self-assessment quizzes, email newsletter, and social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube). Supporting add-ons include free refresher courses within six months, three-month post-course Help Desk support, downloadable practice files, and training room hire. The company has not disclosed revenue or headcount and operates without external investment capital.
