Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management

The program is delivered over 78 weeks (1.5 years), with actual student contact hours being 20 hours per week for 60 weeks. It has been divided into 6 terms of 10 weeks each with 18 weeks of holidays.

Students must be over 18 years of age and hold a fully completed Diploma or Advanced Diploma from the BSB Training Package (current or superseded equivalent versions), OR have two years equivalent full-time relevant workplace experience in an operational or leadership role. Students whose first language is not English must provide proof of English language competency, such as an IELTS score of 6.0 minimum (no lower than 6.0 in each band), TOEFL IBT score of 78, PTE Score of 52, or equivalent. Basic computer skills and completion of the LLN Indicator Tool are also required.

Each unit comprises assessment tasks such as written questions, case studies and practical assessments that must be completed in full before being submitted for marking. Assessments are competency based — students receive either a Competent (C) or Not Yet Competent (NYC) result. Students have three (3) attempts to demonstrate competency; otherwise a unit re-enrolment fee applies.

The course is delivered in a blended mode — 75% face-to-face (trainer led sessions with in-class experiential activities) and 25% online (Moodle-based assessment tasks). In each term, at least one unit is taught face to face. Students are also expected to complete 10 hours of self-study per week in addition to the 20 hours of scheduled contact time.

Yes. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Transfer may be offered to any learner who can provide evidence of competency for the units offered within this qualification. RPL and Credit Transfer must be processed and approved before the starting of the course.
