The Leadership & Management diploma is presented in a hybrid format, blending conventional in-class instruction with self-paced learning using online training resources. This allows students to study from the comfort of home where possible, but still benefit from direct face-to-face training and support from one of our expert instructors.
Students will learn through:
The course duration for the Diploma of Leadership & Management is a total of 52 weeks, including all in-class training, self-paced learning, orientation, assessments, and allocated holidays.
As a full-time course, the Diploma of Leadership & Management requires a commitment of at least 20 hours a week. This includes time for classes, assignments, and self-paced out-of-class study.
Normally, yes – if you’ve already studied one or more of the units in the course as part of another qualification, you will likely be able to apply for a credit transfer for those units. This will mean you won’t be required to take those units as part of your training, which may allow you to complete the course in a shorter time.
In addition, if you’ve been working in a related industry and have training or experience closely aligned with the content of the course, you might be eligible for recognition of prior learning (RPL) for some course content.
In either case, you should talk about it with our enrolments team and discuss your options.
If you’re not just looking to work and get by, but instead to supercharge your career and open up future possibilities, the BSB50420 diploma is an excellent choice for study.
In 2020, a report by Jobs and Skills Australia found the Diploma of Leadership & Management to be in the top ten courses in Australia in terms of median income after study. It also had one of the lowest percentages for students on income support after training – with only 1.82% of graduates needing assistance. It’s a great opportunity not just to get up on your feet, but to get your career flying.
The course is also a highly versatile gateway to work. While many VET courses specialise in specific industries, management and leadership are skills that can be applied to a wide range of industries and professional contexts – allowing you to move into a new career path, or advance in your existing career.
Whatever your situation, the Diploma of Leadership & Management could be the stepping stone you need to advance your career to a whole new level – or start afresh.
Although the BSB50420 diploma opens up a wide range of career opportunities in management, if you’re keen to go even further in management Solis College does have training opportunities that will help you take the next step. Such as:
BSB80120 – Graduate Diploma of Management (Learning)

The qualification also equips students to work in organisations focused on professional training, such as RTOs.
Although the Diploma of Leadership & Management doesn’t have any prerequisites in terms of prior training or qualifications, there are some basic criteria you need to meet to be able to take part in the course.

Student's progress throughout the course will be observed through a range of assessment activities. Students should expect to demonstrate their learning through:
Students will need to receive a satisfactory grade for all assessments to complete each training unit and the course overall.
If you don't pass one or more of the assessments for a training module, you don't need to panic. You'll be given one additional chance to re-attempt the assignment and receive a satisfactory grade.
If you are successful, you can carry on with your course as normal. However, if you're unable to successfully complete the assignment on your second attempt, you'll need to retake the training unit or you will be unable to graduate the course.
The BSB50420 qualification is nationally recognised. As an official training package under the National Register of Vocational Education and Training, the Diploma is accepted by employers, workplaces and government institutions across Australia.
Like any nationally recognised training course, the Diploma of Leadership & Management qualification is updated regularly. In some cases, employers might not realise that certain training qualifications have been updated or superseded, meaning you might be asked to obtain an older qualification - such as the BSB51918 Diploma of Leadership & Management (rather than the BSB50420).
Some older versions of this qualification include:
While these older qualifications may still be valid in the industry, the BSB50420 is the most up-to-date version of this qualification and should be recognised by legitimate employers and workplaces as the updated and current standard.
