The program is conducted over a six month period and during that time all units are assessed for competency in accordance with the ANTA Business Services Training Package for the Advanced Diploma of Business Management.

The units offered cover a wide range of management issues as well as opportunities to undertake practical assessment of current work like situations. The key to the program is that the participants will be able to apply knowledge or assigned findings directly to their workplace environments.

Once completed participants are eligible to enter the Masters of Business Administration or Masters of Business Management program at University of Ballarat.

The program is delivered via an innovative method designed for managers who have extensive experience but lack formal qualifications.

The method of delivery is nine full day workshops in a “boardroom style” format that facilitates discussion and sharing of management experiences and information within the group. Two half day workshops introduce and summarise the course.

Participants are required to read selected chapters from the texts in preparation for each workshop. The management theory is then discussed and learning facilitated. An assignment for that unit is then required before the next workshop.

Therefore participants need to devote more than five to eight hours a week non contact time to meet the demands of the program.
