LEARN MORE ABOUT THE COURSE

During the Certificate III in Business Administration, you’ll learn about the processes of running a business from an admin point of view.  You might get involved in sales and marketing, or accounting, or human resources … but from a support role. You could be starting in an Admin Assistant role or even a support role for an Office Manager.

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 work with your customers, though normally you’re not on the front line, but more of the ‘behind the scenes’ operator.  You may even provide technical advice and support to a team. You’ll probably work under supervision but, in time, you’ll be confident enough to take some control.

We’re pretty sure you’ll also get a lot of confidence to prepare you for work. You can learn how to do admin 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 Cert 3 Qualification - onto the desk of the job interviewer knowing you’ve got what they want!

A Cert III in Business Administration is an entry-level qualification, which means you can go almost anywhere once you’ve got some experience and shown how good you are! It’s really a gateway to a bigger career. Some of our graduates head down these paths;

  • Receptionist
  • Admin Manager
  • Office Manager
  • Property Manager
  • Purchasing Officer
  • Executive Assistant
  • Human Resources Assistant
  • TV / Film Assistant

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

FAST TRACK YOUR COURSE

The average dedicated student should expect to do 1 unit every 2 weeks. In a Certificate III in Business Administration, there are 13 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.

Our Fast Track program allows you to split the cost of your course into 2 payments with $1425 upfront and then a final payment of $275 after 3 months and get 20% off the full price of the course! This is perfect if you want to work hard and complete the course in your own time.
