From justice to healthcare, technology to policy, we know that no two organisations face the same challenges—or have the same learning needs. That’s why we offer custom training tailored to your team, your goals, and your environment.
Whether you're after a private version of one of our courses for a larger group, an in-person session to build skills collaboratively, or a fully tailored curriculum designed around your systems and scenarios, our custom training empowers teams to build confidence in the technologies and practices shaping the future of public good.
You’ll work with Portable’s multidisciplinary team of strategists, technologists, and facilitators to co-design a training experience that doesn’t just share knowledge—it builds capability.

What our attendees say about our training
Kate, Youth Law Australia
It was wonderful to have a personalised session specific to Youth Law Australia and our stage of AI adoption. Sarah provided so much insight and clarity, and I was able to take away so much more than broader AI sessions.
Sam, Relationships Australia
A great introduction to this topic - using real world examples, an online participation engagement tool, and practical group exercises, we were walked through the deeper level of participation required to work with people, rather than for people.
Annabel, Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission
This course is for you if you want to embrace AI but don't really know where to start, or if you're on the journey and want it to work better for you. Very inclusive and engaging for the non-technical people as well as those with more experience. Nothing scary in this course!
Sasha, Parenting Research Centre
The course was so well run. I love how interactive it was - it didn't feel like you'd spent half a day on zoom at all! It provided a great introduction to HCD and I went away with lots to think about.
