Management & leadership courses

A management and leadership course will teach you how to lead teams, make good decisions, and improve workplace culture. Whether you want to grow in your job, start a business, or focus on areas like project management or HR, these courses can help. Studying online is flexible, so you can learn while you work and use your skills straight away.

It depends on where you are in your career and what you want to achieve.

If you’re just starting out and want to learn about the business world, a business management course like a Bachelor of Business is a great choice. You'll cover the basics of business before focusing on management, preparing you for a range of industries.

If you’re looking to boost your skills for a management role, you have a few options:

• Take a short course to improve specific skills, like decision-making, presenting, or communicating.

• Enrol in a postgraduate course, like a Master of Management, to develop your leadership across business areas.

• Focus on a specialty, such as marketing, project management, finance, or business administration. You could even consider an MBA.

Courses in business management cover the skills you need to succeed in leadership roles, such as:

• How to lead and motivate teams.

• Strategic decision-making and problem-solving.

• Core business areas like accounting, marketing, and operations.

• Communication, negotiation, and collaboration skills.

• Remote management techniques for modern workplaces.

You may also specialise in an area like HR, project management, or supply chain operations.

Before starting an enrolment, it’s important to read the entry requirements for your chosen course to ensure you’re eligible to apply. If you don’t quite meet the requirements, we may be able to help you find a pathway into your course through open-entry subjects, which anyone can study.

Entry requirements vary depending on the course and level of study. For short courses, no prior experience is necessary, while undergraduate qualifications may require a minimum ATAR or relevant work experience. Postgraduate qualifications generally require you to have a bachelor degree or background in business, IT, or related fields.

It's best to check individual course details for precise information. Or get in touch with our student advisors and they can help you understand the entry requirements for your course.

• Team leader or general manager: Lead and motivate teams to reach their goals.
