The InnovateX Academy

We don't teach AI. You leave with it running.

AI, cyber security and practical technology courses for Australian small business. Every lesson ends with a step you do in your own business, and every course ends with something set up and working. Not a certificate and a folder of notes.

Opens September 7 · from $49/month inc. GST · cancel anytime · from InnovateX Solutions, Brisbane

Why we exist

Information was never the problem.

You've watched countless hours of videos on YouTube, the webinars and saved the articles. Knowing isn't what's missing. Implementing is. Most courses hand you information and leave the hard part to you. Ours are built the other way round.

A typical course

  1. Watch the videos
  2. Take some notes
  3. Maybe get a certificate
  4. Nothing in the business changes

An Academy course

  1. Learn it, in five to eight minutes
  2. Do it: one guided step, in your business
  3. Pass the quiz, on to the next lesson
  4. Finish with it running
How every course works

Finished means implemented.

Quizzes check you know it. Do-steps make sure it happened.

A definition of done

Every course names the outcome that will exist by the last lesson: DMARC live on your domain, protecting email security. Your AI policy adopted. Your team's Microsoft 365 set up properly.

Quizzes validate the knowledge

Pass the quiz to move on. No skimming through to the finish, and no course runs over two hours total.

A do-step in every lesson

Five to eight minutes of teaching, then one action in your own business. By the end, the actions add up to the implementation.

Built from real engagements

The same plans, playbooks and rollouts we implement for consulting clients, packaged so your business can implement them without us. Or, we can work with you directly.

The structure

Which track is yours?

Strategic · owners & directors

Set the plan.

You're responsible for making technology and AI work safely in the business. You leave with the decisions made and scheduled: your AI plan, your risk shortlist, your IT calendar.

StrategyAICyberTechnologyRiskCompliance
Operational · managers & team leads

Run the plan.

You're the one who has to make the plan actually happen. You leave with it rolled out to the team: the playbook, the policies, the platform set up properly.

AdoptionSecurityOperations
Tactical · the whole crew

Make it habit.

You use the tools every day and want more out of them. You leave using them well, daily: safer, faster, with the habits that stick.

Prove it

Try five questions from the actual courses.

Every module ends with a quiz. Here's five samples from across the tracks; see how many you answer correctly cold.

Behind the courses

One teaches. One designs. On purpose.

Most business courses are one person and a screen recorder. Every Academy course is built twice: proven in the field by fifteen years of enterprise tech and AI, then engineered to be finishable by a professional curriculum designer. Good luck finding that pairing in another course library.

FRACTIONAL CIO · CTO · CAIO

Todd Johnson

Your instructor, on screen in every course. Fifteen years in technology and AI across government and enterprise: software development, data, architecture, security, transformation, organisational change and leadership. Systems that weren't allowed to fail. Now fractional CIO, CTO and CAIO to Australian small businesses, and every course starts life as a real engagement that already worked in a business like yours.

HEAD OF CURRICULUM

Angela Johnson

You won't see Angela on screen. You'll feel her in the structure. A qualified teacher with over a decade of building curriculums and course outlines, she designs every course: five-to-eight-minute lessons, a quiz that catches what slipped, a shape that pulls you to the finish. The reason you'll actually finish these courses? Her.

Straight answers

Questions owners ask.

Isn't this just another video library nobody finishes?

Video libraries hand you information and leave the implementation to you. That's exactly why they go unfinished. Here, every lesson ends with a do-step in your own business and every course has a definition of done. If nothing changed in the business, the course isn't finished, whatever the quiz says.

We're not technical. Is this over our heads?

It's written for owners and staff, not IT people. Plain English, five to eight minute lessons, and every do-step shows exactly where to click. The technical courses exist so you don't have to be.

What is the InnovateX Academy?

An online academy from InnovateX Solutions (an IT and AI Consulting Company) that teaches Australian small businesses practical AI, cyber security and tech. Courses run in three tracks (Strategic for owners, Operational for managers, Tactical for the whole crew), and every course ends with something set up and running in your business, not a folder of notes.

How much does it cost?

Standard is $49 a month and covers the whole self-paced library. Premium is $99 a month and adds implementation workshops with the recordings included, early access and member pricing on masterclasses and roundtables, and The Mastermind, our private community for Premium members, coming late 2026. Prices are in AUD, include GST, run month to month with no lock-in, and paying annually gets you two months free. Businesses get per-person rates that drop as the team grows.

When does it open?

We're launching September 7th 2026, with 21 courses releasing between September 2026 and February 2027, and the catalogue keeps growing from there. The first releases are AI Strategy for Business Owners and Cyber Safe at Work.

How long do courses take?

Tactical lessons run five to eight minutes each, and no course in the catalogue goes past two hours start to finish. A quiz is included with every module, so a finished course means the material sunk in and can be recalled.

Who is behind it?

InnovateX Solutions, an Australian ICT and AI consulting company, led by Todd Johnson: fifteen years in technology and AI across government and enterprise, spanning software development, data, architecture, security, transformation, organisational change and leadership. Now fractional CIO/CTO/CAIO to Australian small businesses. Courses are designed with Angela Johnson, a qualified teacher with over a decade of building curriculums and course outlines.
