Diploma of Business

This course is the mid-point of the Business stream of courses and prepares the students with knowledge and skills for supervisory roles and/or further learning at Advanced Diploma level. Individuals in these roles carry out a mix of specialist and moderately complex administrative or operational tasks that require self-development skills. They use well-developed skills and a broad knowledge base to apply solutions to a defined range of unpredictable problems and analyse information from a variety of sources. They may provide leadership and guidance to others with some limited responsibility for the output of others. Teaching is conducted face-to-face, 20 hours per week in a classroom environment. Five hours each week of self-study is recommended during term time. Teaching sessions are trainer-led in-group sizes of up to 30 participants. The teaching program is undertaken using a planned schedule in accordance with national standards.
