Diploma of Business (Procurement)
Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)This diploma is for individuals who have developed and demonstrated their business knowledge through critical thinking skills, communication strategies, and knowledge of other relevant business resources. The course focuses particularly on validating an individual’s ability to build these skills in others within their workplace and the skills needed to manage and lead teams or businesses.
With the addition of specialisations, people will be able to validate their specialised focus: business development, compliance, leadership, operations, organisational development, or procurement.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Pathway
The BSB50120 Diploma of Business (Procurement) is designed for professionals like you who have a wealth of knowledge in procurement and business practices. Showcase your expertise in procurement strategies, supplier management, contract negotiation, risk assessment, and more, through the RPL pathway.
RPL allows you to achieve nationally recognised qualifications by converting your existing skills, knowledge, and experience—gained through previous work or study—into formal competencies. This means you can earn qualifications simply by providing evidence of your relevant expertise.
The process can be completed in as little as a week, though it typically takes between 2 weeks – 3 months, depending on the evidence provided. If you have difficulty gathering evidence or prefer additional support, we can streamline the process through interviews and observations.
Average Duration: 12-18 Months
