BSB50420 – Diploma of Leadership & Management

The Diploma of Leadership & Management is aimed at management staff reaching the next level in the career, such as supervisors becoming managers, or leaders with 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 BSB50420 Diploma of Leadership & Management, learners are required to complete a total of twelve (12) units of competency, comprising of:

• 6 core units
• 6 Electives, comprising:
  • 4 – 6 units from those listed
  • up to 2 Imported units from Certificate IV Level or above

The Diploma of Leadership & Management is more targeted than the Diploma of Business. The below list covers the generally available units for the qualification, though there are further possibilities available using the maximum of two 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. Please note that not all of our trainers can deliver all units and for some units choice of delivery method may be limited to online/correspondence as a result.
