Management about?

At a Certificate IV level, you are still early in your management career. You usually have responsibility for a small team and you will report up to a higher manager who directs policies and procedures. Your job is to ensure you and your team are executing on the brief.

Even better, this qualification suits a range of industries for people who are establishing their leadership and management career.

It reflects an ability to self-manage, and also to lead, guide and support others. Individuals at this level demonstrate some responsibility for monitoring, organising and achieving team objectives. They implement solutions to problems, and provide analysis and evaluation based on a variety of information.

Leadership and Management Industry

Leadership and Management opportunities are in high demand in every sector of the workforce from government and corporate, to mining, retail, construction and everything in between.

There are 1,581,600 Managers currently employed in Australia. One in four are aged 55 years or older, that’s roughly 395,400 managers who are 55+.

This means that in the next decade, we will have hundreds of thousands of managers reaching retirement age and creating an opportunity for promotions, as younger supervisors are coming through the ranks.

In addition, the Future of Work Report forecasts 109,900 more managerial positions by 2023.

You will find a lot more information in our Leadership and Management Industry Report.

PHILLIP – Recognition and a Fair Go

After multiple Middle Eastern deployments, Phillip sustained a training injury which meant it was time for him to start preparing to exit. He says the process of gaining RPL made him feel ‘legitimised,’ ‘recognised,’ and ‘given a fair go,’ after realising his specialist trade skills and experience within Defence didn’t translate to the outside world.

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.
