Why this diploma

A qualification your supervisor recognises on day one

The diploma sits between a certificate and a degree. It suits people who have moved into a team leader role and need the vocabulary and paperwork that go with it, without stopping work for a year.

Assessment is workplace-based. You interview your own manager, audit a real process, and design one improvement that the unit assessments can actually measure. Nothing is hypothetical if your workplace is willing to play along.

  • Live workshops on campus, three Saturdays a month
  • Assessments drawn from your own workplace
  • Nominated workplace mentor for the full twelve months
  • Recognition of prior learning reviewed at intake

Twelve months measured in real outcomes

Data from the cohorts that finished in the last two calendar years.

87% Finished within the standard twelve months
3.4 Average number of workplace projects per student
19 Admitted on prior learning credits
24,600 Assessments marked across the program

Operational planning

You build an operational plan for your own team, set measurable targets, then review the gaps six weeks later. Most students find their original targets were dreamt up without data.

Team effectiveness

The unit walks through recruitment, induction, and one difficult performance conversation. You record your own conversation and review it with a mentor before it happens for real.

Financial reporting

Budgets, variance analysis and a simple cash flow forecast. Students who dislike numbers usually finish this unit with a working spreadsheet of their own.

Enrolment to graduation

How the twelve months run

Six checkpoints, from the first phone call to the certificate landing in your inbox.

Eligibility interview

A twenty-minute phone call covers your current role, workplace support and any prior study. We also ask whether your manager will sign off on workplace assessments.

Recognition of prior learning

If you have a certificate or two years in a supervisory role, you may skip up to three units. We review transcripts and a written role summary before enrolment.

Enrolment and mentor match

You sign the enrolment form, set up the learner portal, and we match you with a mentor who has worked in your industry rather than a generalist.

Unit delivery in blocks

Units run in blocks of four to six weeks. Each block opens with a Saturday workshop and closes with a written assessment submitted through the portal.

Workplace evidence collection

Throughout each block you gather evidence from your own site: rosters, meeting notes, budget sheets and one recorded conversation with a team member.

Graduation and transcript

Once the final unit is marked competent, we issue the testamur and a full academic transcript, and invite you to the graduation evening on campus.

Diploma questions

What candidates ask about the diploma

Everything we get asked before enrolment, in plain language.

Send a Different Question

Yes. Every unit needs workplace evidence, and at least one unit requires a signed confirmation from a supervisor. If you are between jobs, we can discuss a short deferral instead.

Budget eight to ten hours a week. That covers the Saturday workshop, reading and writing up the workplace evidence for the current block.

Yes. Employers can pay by invoice, and we can split the invoice across two financial years if that helps with their budget cycle.

The diploma is a nationally recognised qualification, so it transfers across state borders and shows up on your transcript wherever you apply next.

This happens occasionally. We schedule a phone call with you and your manager, agree on a substitute piece of evidence, and adjust the assessment if the substitute still meets the unit requirements.
