Education

In 1980 I completed a four-year degree in Psychology at the University of NSW, graduating with a double major B.Sc (Hons). My course included strands of research methods, statistics and industrial psychology. My final year entailed a project in Social Psychology, during which I analysed the results with the statistical analysis program SPSS and wrote them up into a 25,000-word thesis.

In 1988 I completed a Master’s Degree in Cognitive Science, relating to computer science, linguistics, philosophy and psychology, at UNSW.

In December 1994 I completed an accredited Train the Computer Trainer course at WEA Sydney. In December 1998 I received a Certificate IV in Workplace Training (Category 2).
