BSB40520 – Certificate IV in Leadership & Management

The Certificate IV in Leadership & Management is aimed at new and emerging managers and leaders, or leaders with some experience looking to have their learning formally recognised and fill in skill gaps.

FTS has found that it works particularly well for staff that have been recognised for their performance and promoted internally into a leadership role, but would benefit from further development in their leadership and “soft” skills.

Leadership competencies covered in the course are applicable to a wide range of industries, and covers skills such as problem solving, communication, evaluation and analyse, and of course, general leadership skills.

Delivery underpins our philosophy that work is the learning and learning is the work. We deliver a combination of formal training sessions and mentoring. We utilise a mix of on-the-job observation and questioning, and workplace-based projects throughout our assessment tasks.

Participants are encouraged to challenge their existing knowledge and extend their boundaries whilst they expand their skill base.

To successfully attain the BSB40520 Certificate IV in Leadership & Management, students are required to complete a total of twelve (12) units of competency, comprising of:

Certificate IV in Leadership & Management

• 5 core units;
• 4 Group A Electives
• 3 units from Group A or Group B and/or

The Certificate IV in Leadership & Management is more targeted than the Certificate IV in Business. The below list covers the generally available units for the qualification, though there are further possibilities available using Import units.

If there is something you’re wanting to include in the course that isn’t listed, please reach out via the contact details below or using the form on our website and we’ll see how we can make that work.
