About the Qualification
Certificate IV in Business is an ideal qualification for people who work in roles such as project officers, administration officers, business operations, finance, team leaders or supervisors. The functions of a business are not confined to just the private sector but operate across the public and community sectors as well. For example, you may come from industries as diverse as warehousing and storage, to logistics, to sales operations, business administration and running a small team in a government department.
After an extensive review was completed in 2020 of all Australia’s business qualifications, the latest and current version of this qualification can be recognised by the code BSB40120.
The earlier qualification was BSB40215 Certificate IV in Business. Whilst the spirit of the earlier qualification aligned with the latest version, there have been a range of changes made to ensure that when you graduate with BSB40210 Certificate IV in Business, you are possessing the range of skills and knowledge that modern workplaces demand.
Your experience in these roles can help you achieve BSB40120 Certificate IV in Business through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
WHAT DOES IT COMPRISE OF
When it comes to obtaining Recognition of Prior Learning in Certificate IV in Business, the starting point is that your experience includes some responsibility within your workplace – both for your own development and performance, and often for providing leadership in a team or guiding others. You may even be accountable for the work of others at a limited level.
Your depth of experience has built up enough that you have well developed skills and a broad knowledge so you can tackle the unpredictable problems that can arise on the job.
Certificate IV in Business covers the skills, knowledge and responsibilities that make a business operate smoothly. There are 6 core units which are mandatory for every student completing the qualification.
When you look at the core units you can see that these key competencies are valued in workplaces across the country:
A total of 12 units of competency must be completed in Certificate IV in Business. The units of competency required are:
Once the core units have been addressed, you have the option of completing your Certificate IV in Business with a broader set of skills and knowledge reflected or specialising in a stream of skills that reflect your role’s responsibilities.
This is possible because in a significant shift in 2020, 8 Certificate IV qualifications were superseded by this single Certificate IV in Business. You may have seen qualifications such as Certificate IV in Business Administration, and Certificate IV in Customer Engagement. These were all wrapped up into a single qualification.
So currently, you can elect to complete the Certificate IV in Business – with a broad skills and knowledge approach to how business roles function.
Alternatively, you can head down the path of adding a specialisation to your Certificate IV in Business. Whilst your qualification will still have the same code of BSB40120, you will see the specialisation reflected in brackets after Certificate IV in Business.
These are the specialisation options currently offered by Churchill Education:
