Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We designed this certificate for people moving into their first leadership position, so you’ll cover the fundamentals of running a team from the ground up. You’ll learn to lead difficult conversations, coordinate operational plans and organise business meetings, which are tasks that new managers aren’t always prepared for. No formal prerequisites apply, so you can enrol before you’ve held a leadership title.
The certificate’s 12 units will teach you to:
Lead and facilitate a team
Demonstrate leadership in the workplace
Lead difficult conversations
Lead effective workplace relationships
Develop and use emotional intelligence
Apply critical thinking to work practices
Coordinate business operational plans
Develop your personal work priorities
Undertake project work
Yes. We deliver the whole certificate online, so you can study around a job and family without attending campus. You’ll complete practical tasks, workplace scenarios and recorded roleplays throughout, so you’ll practise leadership situations as well as read about them. Even if you’re not on campus, you’ll have access to your trainer via phone, email or Zoom from 9am to 5.30pm, Monday through Friday.
You could pursue roles like:
Team leader
Supervisor
Shift manager
2IC or assistant manager
Junior manager
Workplace trainer
General management positions usually require more experience and often further study at the diploma level.
Yes. You can progress to our Diploma of Leadership and Management, where you’ll cover advanced areas like budgeting and strategic management. From there, our Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management takes you further again. Because the certificate is nationally recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), some universities may also grant credit towards a business degree.
Yes. Leading a team involves the same core work wherever you do it, so you’ll take skills like handling difficult conversations, running meetings and setting priorities into any workplace. That portability matters if you’re planning to change sectors, since a leadership qualification travels with you even when your technical knowledge doesn’t.
