We offer a blended delivery mode of classroom learning and structured self-study. The course has 27 studying weeks (3 terms) during a period of 9 calendar months.
During the term, you attend classes 14 hours per week and complete another 6 hours as structured self-study. On top of these, you study in your own time up to 15 hours per week then complete quizzes and assignments.
Assessments are competency-based. The theoretical component of each unit is assessed in the form of written assignments, case studies, research projects, etc. while the practical component is assessed in a simulated environment where the conditions are typical of those in the real business world.
Upon successful completion of all 12 units of competency of this course, you will receive the Australian nationally recognised qualification of the BSB40120 Certificate IV in Business which includes two documents, the Testamur and the Record of Results. If you do not complete all required 12 units, you will be issued a Statement of Attainment showing all units of competency that you have successfully completed.
The BSB40120 is a Level 4 qualification in the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and is therefore recognized by all AQF colleges. Upon successful completion of this qualification, you can enrol in various business and management courses at the Diploma level or higher.
