How Labs works
Inside NovaSoft Labs
Why it’s free, where your work goes, and what the certificates mean.
Free, with no ads
Every course and tool is free to use, with no ads. Labs counts page visits to see which tools get used; it doesn’t track you across other sites.
Your work stays on your device
Projects, photos and quiz progress are saved in your own browser and aren’t uploaded to NovaSoft. Download a backup to keep a copy or move your work to another computer. Backups aren’t encrypted, so store them somewhere private.
Certificates you can keep
Pass a course quiz (five of six correct) to print a named completion certificate with a unique reference. It records self-directed learning. It isn’t an accredited qualification or an identity check.
Built from official sources
Courses and tools point to official guidance, such as the Australian Signals Directorate, Scamwatch and the OAIC. Each course lists its sources.
Tools, not advice
Labs helps you draft, record and practise. It doesn’t replace professional advice or a competent person’s check of a site. The evacuation diagram builder doesn’t claim compliance with Australian Standards.
