Overview

BSB40520 Certificate IV in Leadership and Management

We all need leaders. We look to leaders to guide us through tough times and to congratulate our efforts when we produce great work.

Great leaders encompass the right attitude, encourage their team and attempt to uncover our real potential as employees and make us feel confident in our job roles.

Great leaders not only manage their teams effectively, but lead by example. Do you want to lead others? Begin establishing your leadership and management skills with this Certificate IV qualification.

Leaders at this level:

Assume responsibility for their own performance
Provide support to others
May be responsible for organising the workload of other team members
Analyse and evaluate information to inform leadership decisions

This qualification reflects the role of individuals working as developing and emerging leaders and managers in a range of enterprise and industry contexts.

As well as assuming responsibility for their own performance, individuals at this level are likely to provide leadership, guidance and support to others. They may also have some responsibility for organising and monitoring the output of teams.

They apply solutions to a defined range of predictable and unpredictable problems, and analyse and evaluate information from a variety of sources.

Testimonial

“I just received my Diploma in the mail and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with the folding cover it came in. I have received many qualifications in the past, but never one with such a nice presentation as this, at least never unsolicited. It just shows class on your part!

Please don’t change, its refreshing to see that someone still cares about the way they do things!”
