Diploma of Business

The Diploma of Business at Spencer College, a registered training organisation in Brisbane (RTO 31809, CRICOS 03093K), suits individuals in roles such as executive officers, program consultants and program coordinators — whether they bring substantial experience across a range of business functions they want to formalise, or hold sound theoretical business knowledge they wish to build into further study and career opportunities. The twelve-unit qualification covers developing critical thinking in others, managing budgets and financial plans, managing business resources and risk, sustainability policy development, leading workplace communication, recruitment and onboarding, project work, meeting management, and leading effective workplace relationships and team effectiveness, alongside ensuring a safe workplace. Training runs over 52 weeks of classroom-based delivery at the Brisbane campus, including a maximum of 8 weeks' holiday depending on intake, through face-to-face and online lectures/workshops plus practical, simulated activities; distance learning is not offered, and students must attend a minimum of 20 hours of class time weekly under their Student Visa conditions. Entry requires applicants to be 18 or older with basic computer skills and a minimum Year 12 education or equivalent, with Recognition of Prior Learning considered on application.
