This Certificate programme is designed to provide candidates with a broad range of skills suited to consulting, owner-operator and micro-business (1 - 5 employees) management. The work setting is self-employment in a home-based business, shop front enterprise or office-based consultancy (or similar). This is also ideal for Vocational Education and Training trainer/assessors who provide contract services to one or more RTOs.
Whether you operate (or intend to operate) your own shop-front enterprise or home-based business, this qualification is ideally suited to those who may also be required to provide advice and support to a small team.

Certificate III in Micro Business Operations requirements
You will need to complete 10 units of competency to complete the full BSB30307 Certificate III in Micro Business Operations. The combination of required core and elective units is identified on our enrolment form.
Due to the wide variety of micro business environments in Australia, we have not established a list of "Highly Recommended" units. We can, however, discuss your specific requirements and make recommendations of units appropriate to your needs.

Purchase of a computer and/or specific software is not required, but access to unit-specific software outside of workshops is highly recommended for both practice and assessment purposes. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Delivery
Delivery Methods
Workshops are scheduled at weekly intervals for normal ("fee for service") enrolments in this program due to the number of practical assessment tasks required. Mentoring is available for distance education students if required. A minimum of six confirmed enrolments is required for us to facilitate a workshop. If we do not have sufficient enrolments to facilitate a workshop, you will be offered either a deferral or distance education with mentoring.
Seminars/workshops can also be facilitated for specific units, subject to sufficient enrolments being confirmed.
Please contact us for further details, particularly if there are identified delivery/assessment issues for a unit or units which you need to include, or you wish to confirm an appropriate selection for a specific job role.
