LEARN MORE ABOUT THE COURSE

In the Certificate III in Business, you’ll learn about how a business operates and what is the best thing to do in a business environment.  You could be starting in and Admin Assistant role in a larger organisation, or a Team Leader or even an Office Manager for a smaller business.

Some of the things you’ll do in your job at this level would include using some discretion in business practices, judgment and responsibility for the admin of the business, and applying relevant theoretical knowledge. You may even provide technical advice and support to a team. You’ll work with outside suppliers to purchase the right equipment, make sure they arrive on time and work properly. You might work under supervision, and may have some authority to delegate.

We’re pretty sure you’ll also get a lot of confidence to prepare you for work. You can learn how to do business stuff in a business environment, try a few things, get some feedback from our Mentors, and then become really good at this. You can slap your resume - complete with your new Certificate III in Business qualification - onto the desk of the job interviewer knowing you’ve got what they want!

The Certificate III in Business is an entry-level course, which means you can go almost anywhere once you’ve got some experience and shown how good you are! Some of our graduates head down these paths;

  • Admin Assistant
  • Office Junior/Support
  • Customer Service
  • Internal Sales/Admin
  • Receptionist
  • Hospitality
  • Retail

You’ll naturally get credit for what you do in this course. Upon completing a Certificate III in Business, you can continue your studies through the Certificate IV in Business and/or Diplomas of Business

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME TO COMPLETE?

The average dedicated student should expect to do 1 unit every 2 weeks. In a Certificate III in Business, there are 12 units to complete. So, you should expect around 6 months to complete. It’s OK to take longer, but there is a maximum time frame of 12 months.

There is no minimum time period, meaning if you have the time now to apply yourself, you can complete this course as fast as want.

What others have to say

I would like to express my gratitude for giving me the opportunity to receive my business certificate. Yours, Maddy's, Vickie's, and the team of Edmund Barton's College's cooperation and effort in preparing and delivering the course is truly appreciated. I couldn't have done it without you!

The online modules made the process very manageable and stress-free, as the learning was also very interactive given all the checkpoints. I am glad to have completed the course through Edmund Barton College as it was extremely convenient to my timings and I was able to complete it within a few months before school had started. Once again, thank you for your outstanding support!

The course was very educational and at the same time very fun. I loved (my Mentor) Michelle's comments. She made me feel very special (and smart!!). I enjoyed every moment of it!

I learned a lot through my course. The information was relevant to my job and the delivery was really fun and engaging. The Mentors were excellent in helping me with my studies. I can highly recommend these guys!

Simon C

Graduate - Certificate IV in Customer Engagement

I would like to say thank you to the team at Edmund Barton College, I know every time I have contacted the college the employees have been amazing with their customer service

Ashley G

Graduate - Certificate IV in Business Administration

"I have thoroughly enjoyed completely this Diploma, it was something that I thought was out of my reach. My Mentor’s kind words every step of the way has been encouraging and motivating. I certainly found the last two topics the hardest to get motivated to do, as life certainly got busier and procrastination kicked in. I have finished just in time for the festive season.”
