CEDA's short online economics course
Economics for Non-Economists is a self-paced online learning course designed to introduce participants to the fundamentals of economics. Reflecting CEDA’s membership base, it is a course tailored for professionals and developed by professional economists.
In each learning module, participants will take economic terms and concepts and see how they are applied in Australian policymaking by leading economic institutions such as the Treasury and the Reserve Bank. This is a practical course – you won’t spend countless hours on perfect competition and price shocks. Instead, you’ll jump right to the contemporary experience of how these concepts are implemented and referenced by our leaders.
Ultimately, our online economics course allows you to engage with issues that feature prominently in media headlines every day. You will become better equipped to understand the issues that matter to you and your organisation – from employment to cost of living and all the other macroeconomic trends that impact our lives.

I’ve worked in the public sector, across several agencies, for over 25 years. During this time, I have had several touch points with economic concepts without any real understanding of the broader economics framework. This online course filled in those gaps for me in a way that sustained my interest and allowed me to incorporate the learning into my existing workload. While going through the course, I had many ‘aha’ moments which cumulated in solid foundation in economics concepts.
