The Canberra Country Music Festival encourages onsite workshops the purposes of education and industry development. The activities are devised, structured and directed by the group seeking to hold the workshop with the organizers of the CCMF facilitating the activity by promoting the workshop in the overall Festival Program.

The Workshop Program is split between days, with the emphasis on Saturday being the music business and Sunday focused on performance and musical technique. Music Workshops are undertaken in the Ningaloo Room as stated below.
