About the Qualification
What is the Certificate IV in Business (Cyber Security)?
The Certificate IV in Business (Cyber Security) is a specialty version of the Certificate IV in Business available to complete by Recognition of Prior Learning.
Certificate IV in Business (Cyber Security) recognises that technology and data are integral in organisations across the globe. Cyber security in business relates to the ability to protect our data and safely manage our technology.
You could be working across a wide range of industries and sectors as technology is now embedded in organisations small to large. So, your work responsibilities may be solely dedicated to cyber security or you may be working with other technical experts to contribute to the cyber security of your workplace.
For a successful RPL application in Certificate IV in Business (Cyber Security), your cyber security experience needs to cover these practical situations:
- Maintained the security of two different electronic devices over the life of a small project or work cycle through using best practice protection strategies; for example, you may show evidence of your password management, using a virtual private network (VPN) or ensuring anti-virus software is used.
- Ensuring software is updated and a register of devices maintained and checked for cyber security arrangements.
- Involved in at least 2 cyber security incidents at work. For example, you may have assisted in responding to an incident where a compromising email has been sent through to a team member and examining the response, including a post-breach review.
- Identifying at least 3 real or potential cyber security threats to consider at your work and how you could minimise the risk.
- For example, you may have revisited password policies, malware attacks (such as through emailed files) or ransomware (where hackers encrypt your data and demand payment to unlock it).
- Developed at least 1 policy for your workplace to promote cyber safety and arranged at least 2 training / updates to share with colleagues on cyber safety.
Your cyber security experience can help you achieve the Certificate IV in Business (Cyber Security) through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

RPL Process
RPL Process
How does the RPL process work?
- We conduct a free preliminary skills assessment and give you a report
- You tell us the qualifications you want and provide evidence
- You receive nationally recognised qualifications!
Let's step this out a bit more:
Step 1. We conduct a free preliminary skills assessment and give you a report.
The RPL process begins with a conversation with one of our Skills Recognition Advisors.
- You tell us what you're looking for and where you want to go
- You provide a few easily accessible documents
- You'll be sent a report within 48 hours. This will include a breakdown of costs involved and lists the qualifications:
- you could be eligible for right now;
- you could be eligible for if you are able to provide some further evidence (and we'll share with you what the gaps are and the evidence we'd need); or
- if training would be your best option. We don't offer the training so we'll give you some information about how to locate a training organisation who delivers what you are looking for.
This is cost-free and obligation-free.
Step 2. You tell us the qualifications you want and provide evidence
You can make an informed decision about which qualifications are best for you and your career. Once this is confirmed, we can complete the process.
- We tell you exactly what evidence we need to establish your competency in the units that make up a qualification
- You provide your evidence, then you can sit back and relax!
- We match the evidence to the units. This is called mapping. Other providers may get you to do this yourself.
Step 3. You receive nationally recognised qualifications!
Congratulations! Your experience has been validated and translated into nationally recognised qualifications.
- To save you time, we submit all the paperwork to the government for you. This formalises your qualifications.
- You receive your qualifications though both email and post, within 14 days. Or, with our VIP Fast-Track Service, you can have them in just 7 days.
