Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! The Diploma of Business is a comprehensive course that equips individuals and organisations with the essential skills and knowledge to thrive in the ever-changing business industry.

Australia has implemented various levels of certification to standardise qualifications throughout the country. Certificates I and II provide fundamental vocational skills and knowledge required for mainly routine work.

Certificates III and IV offer more advanced skills and knowledge. As previously discussed, Certificate III enables individuals to undertake skilled work, while Certificate IV permits the pursuit of specialised knowledge and skills within specific contexts.

Moreover, a Diploma is a level 5 qualification allowing individuals to undertake advanced skilled work, covering integrated technical and theoretical concepts across a broad range of contexts. It’s worth noting that this qualification can be credited towards university studies, with universities generally equating Certificate IV to six (6) to twelve (12) months of a Bachelor’s Degree.

The hierarchy of qualifications is as follows:

  • Level 6 – Advanced diploma or associate degree
  • Level 7 – Bachelor’s degree
  • Level 8 – Bachelor honours degree, graduate certificate, or graduate diploma
  • Level 9 – Masters degree
  • Level 10 – Doctoral degree

The course is evaluated using a blend of knowledge-based questions, hands-on case studies, and practical activities. It’s worth noting that conventional exams are not a part of the assessment process.

Upon successful completion of the course, learners will receive a nationally recognised Diploma of Business. If the course is partially completed, a Statement of Attainment will be granted for the satisfactory completion of individual units of competency.

Our dedicated team is available to assist learners throughout their learning journey, providing technical and academic support.
