Types of training
At GS1 Australia, we recognise that your time is valuable and it can be difficult to find time to attend face-to-face training. For this reason, we provide a range of different training options at various locations: at our premises, on your site or at alternative venues, and online.
Classroom training
Our most popular type of training, our classroom sessions, offer you the opportunity to learn from our expert instructors in a face-to-face environment. Sessions include engaging presentations from subject matter experts, interactive activities and opportunities to ask questions.
Classroom training is provided at our GS1 Australia offices in both Melbourne and Sydney, and at various locations throughout Australia.

Training in regional Australia
If you are a GS1 Australia member situated in regional Australia, you may not have the opportunity to attend our training sessions, usually scheduled in the capital cities.
Our training team is interested in finding ways to support GS1 training in your region. GS1 Australia can attempt to identify other local businesses who can join you to make a potential training session in your area viable.
