What Our Students Say About Us

How is the course presented?

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:

  • Conventional face-to-face training sessions
  • Self-paced, online learning with web-based training resources
  • Practical, in-class exercises
  • Individual assignments and research tasks
  • Group projects

How long will it take to complete the BSB50420 course?

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.

How much time will I need to invest each week?

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.

Can I get RPL for subjects I've studied before?

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.

Pathways to employment

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.

What further study could I do after this?

Some FAQs By Our Students

Most training materials for the BSB50420 course are provided as part of the training. However, you will need access to a few items of common technology, and a few digital resources. You'll need:

  • An Email Account - Both for communicating with Solis College and also for logging in to our online portal, you'll need a working email address where we can contact you. This can be a free account from a site like Google or Yahoo.
  • A Laptop - Both for the training and for general online admin, you'll need access to a working laptop. It'll also need to be able to connect to the internet through WiFi and have current Microsoft Office software (or a close equivalent) installed.
  • A Mobile Phone - For communication with the college, you'll need a working mobile phone with an active SIM card. A smartphone is preferable.

Student's progress throughout the course will be observed through a range of assessment activities. Students should expect to demonstrate their learning through:

  • Direct in-class observation by the trainer during in-class exercises
  • Collaborative group projects
  • Written assessments and tests
  • Individual assignments

 

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: 

  • BSB51918 - Diploma of Leadership and Management
  • BSB51915 - Diploma of Leadership and Management
  • BSB51107 - Diploma of Management

 

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.

The Diploma of Leadership & Management is a good pathway to a range of roles and career opportunities in management. Some of the potential roles available to graduates include:

  • Manager
  • Transport Manager
  • Distribution Centre Manager
  • Information Services Manager
  • Corporate Services Manager
  • Public Sector Manager
  • Senior Manager (Public Sector)
  • Office Manager
  • Legal Practice Manager
  • Operations Manager
  • Warehouse Manager
  • Business Development Manager
  • Production Manager
  • Business Manager
