LEARN MORE ABOUT THE COURSE

The Diploma of Business is a more substantial course, which is broad enough to cover areas of business you’ll need to know, yet deep enough to give you a solid understanding of business practices. It’s designed for those who may already have years of experience in any business environment, who want to further develop skills across a wider range of business functions in order to step up to a promotion or take that higher-level job. You could also start this course as an entry-level student and aim high, but you’ll need to be pretty keen and committed, as a lot of the material will be new to you. If you have that drive and ambition, that’s good!  … you’ll need that in business. And, remember, if you get stuck, we’re here to help you through. 

As this is a higher level, you’re expected answers to assessments should match the increased depth and breadth of the content.  This is a highly respected qualification - and will take pride of place on your resume. It tells an employer that you have the skills, knowledge and ability to control high-level projects.

Pride. Confidence. Recognition. Skills & Knowledge. Firstly, you’ll learn how to analyse problems in business, find strategies to overcome them, manage projects, delegate to others, and work to time and budgetary deadlines. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, you’ll find your confidence, and you’ll take pride in achieving this qualification. It’s not easy - it stands as a real credit to those who complete it - but you will earn status, ability and recognition for being a top-level Manager… with all the trimmings that come with that!

In this course, you can learn how to manage and lead a team. Feel comfortable to try a few things, get some real feedback from our Mentors, and then become really good at this before you take on the role. Or, if you have the experience, but not the qualification, then this is a perfect way to get the recognition you deserve.  Then, you can then talk to your Manager - confident in your new, recognised abilities from your Qualification - and ask for that promotion, pay rise or both!

In addition, if you’re thinking of starting your own business, then this a great qualification to do. If you have the ideas and enthusiasm, this course will teach you about Admin, Marketing, Human Resources, and Project Management. All things a budding / growing business person needs to know.

The Diploma of Business is a higher-level course, which means you’ll be at (or near) senior management. With some good experience, this qualification will prove and complement your skills. In business, there are always people at the top who organise and manage the processes. This could be you! Some of our graduates head down these paths;

  • Office Manager

  • Property Manager

  • Human Resources Manager

  • Marketing Manager

  • Franchise Operator

  • Customer Service Manager

  • Business Owner

You’ll naturally get credit for what you do in this course. Upon completing a Diploma of Business, you can continue your studies through the Diploma of Leadership & Management. The credits you earn in this course can count towards further qualifications, which means it’s quicker and cheaper to advance to higher qualifications.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME TO COMPLETE?

The average dedicated student should expect to do 1 unit every 4 weeks. In a Diploma of Business, there are 12 units to complete. So, you should expect around 12 months to complete. It’s OK to take longer, but there is a maximum time frame of 24 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.

Don't just take our word for it

Listen to one of our previous students, Tarek, talk about the 3 main reasons why he thinks you should study at Edmund Barton College.

1) Affordable courses that are all AQF (Australian Qualification Framework) certified.

2) An amazing system that allows you to study in your own time. The harder you study- the faster you complete your course.

3) An excellent support system that gives you the help you need.

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!

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.”
