APSLearn is available to public servants employed by an Australian Government agency. To register you will need to have an official government email account.

In January 2022, the APS Academy migrated its course services to a new learning management system (LMS). The APS Academy contacted all APSLearn users in December 2021 and again in January 2022 to seek users’ consent to transfer their data from the old LMS to the new one.  If we didn’t receive your consent, we legally weren’t able to transfer your details into the new system. You can continue to access our offerings by creating a new profile at APSLearn. 

Many agencies use Acorn for their internal LMS services. Unfortunately, you cannot merge accounts if your agency is using Acorn because it is separate to APSLearn. This means you will need to have two accounts. You can use the same email address for both accounts. If you have multiple accounts in APSLearn, you can request to have the accounts merged.

A Reporting Officer can self-serve and run agency data reports from APSLearn. This means the agency can see which employees (based on their profile) have completed what training within APSLearn. Reporting Officers are a registered user of APSLearn who have a clear business requirement to access reporting functions. A Reporting Officer is generally a person from the agency L&D team. If you are unsure of who within your agency has Reporting Officer access or need to create one, please contact the APS Academy. For legacy data prior 1 January 2022, you will still need to complete a Data Request Form- external site

We use various technologies to support virtual classes. Course details will outline what the types of technology you will require prior to your course commencing.

We recommend checking with your IT team to verify which applications your agency supports, as each agency IT network is configured differently. 

In some instances, you may not be able to access the online classroom tool through your agency IT network. If this is the case, you may need to use your personal device and home internet network. To access the course you will need:

• a work/personal internet network connection
• a compatible work/personal device with an active camera (laptop/tablet/webcam)
• a private and quiet space, this is to help maintain the security and the confidentiality of participants.

To register your interest in attending a course, you can put your name on the waitlist. To do this, login to APSLearn, select the course, and click ‘Express your Interest’. You will be notified once additional dates have been added to the course calendar. It's also worth keeping an eye out for course announcements via the APSC website and MyAcademy monthly APS Academy newsletter (sign up via the website).
