How this course differs from
SkillsFuture-funded programmes

Our courses are not SkillsFuture funded. Here is why that works in your favour.

SkillsFuture-Funded Courses
This Course
Curriculum quality is assured through SSG's approval process, with limited flexibility for changes after approval.
The course is reviewed and refined before every run to ensure it addresses the learning needs of each cohort.
In a fast-moving landscape, a curriculum approved 6 months ago may already be teaching outdated tools and approaches.
Content and tools are current. With AI constantly reshaping the way we work, our curriculum is updated regularly.
Exercises use generic datasets with no connection to participants' actual work context or communication challenges.
Participants are encouraged to bring their actual work for practice, ensuring the learning is relevant and relatable.
Group sizes are often maximised for subsidy purposes, limiting individual attention and peer critique time.
Small cohort size. Every participant receives direct feedback from the trainer — a commercial information design expert.

Information design is not graphic design — and the difference is everything

Most infographics fail not because the data is wrong, but because they prioritise decoration over communication. Visual polish cannot rescue an infographic that fails to convey its message.

This course is facilitated by an information design expert, not a graphic designer. The distinction matters: information designers are trained to make complex data understandable, structured, and persuasive. Graphic designers are trained to make things beautiful.

  • 01Facilitated by an information design expert with deep commercial and government sector experience — not a generalist trainer.
  • 02Output-oriented: participants leave with real infographics built from their own data, not template exercises.
  • 03Every cohort is different. The curriculum adapts to participants and their communication challenges, not the other way around.
  • 04Software-agnostic: you learn the principles that make infographics work, applicable to PowerPoint, Canva, or any tool.

For professionals who need to explain, inform or educate — visually

You do not need a design background. This course is for anyone who works with data or information and needs to communicate it to an audience.

Participants typically work in communications, policy, research, HR, operations, or data roles — across both public and private sector organisations.

What you will be able to do after this course

Diagnose what's wrong

Identify why an infographic fails to communicate — and know exactly what to fix. Move beyond "it doesn't look right" to precise, structural diagnosis.

Choose the right visual form

Know when to use a chart vs a diagram vs a process illustration — and how to decide what information to include and what to leave out.

Tell a story with data

Structure information with a clear narrative arc. Move your audience from data to insight to action — not just present numbers.

Apply the visualisation process

Follow a repeatable method from brief to finished graphic. No more starting from a blank canvas with no framework.

Work across mediums

Design infographics for reports, presentations, social media, and print — adapting structure and detail to each context.

Apply design principles confidently

Learn to make effective design decisions that improve your infographics, using tools you already use, such as PowerPoint or Canva.

Two days of structured,
hands-on learning

Short lectures are wrapped around hands-on group exercises. Participants design real infographics, critique each other's work, and receive direct feedback from the trainer. No passive learning.

Yes — and many departments prefer it this way. Because our course is not SkillsFuture-funded, we are not bound by a fixed approved curriculum. We review and refine the course before every run to reflect the specific mix of participants, their agencies, and their communication challenges. Invoices can be issued through Vendors@Gov or InvoiceNow.

You are welcome to use or adapt the following for an internal training request:
