Certificate IV in Business
You will need to complete 10 units of competency to complete the full BSB40207 Certificate IV in Business. The combination of required core and elective units is identified on our enrolment form.
Entry requirements
HBTA does restrict enrolments to clients aged 18 - 65 with a minimum Year 10 level of English and Maths. Applicants who enrol in this qualification are usually employed or seeking employment in supervisory roles. It is extremely unusual for an organisation to employ someone under 18 in this capacity where the job role also requires the administrative skills developed in this qualification.
You will not need to own a computer or specific software, but will be expected to complete some tasks electronically for specific units. 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.
Prerequisite and Corequisite requirements
There are no prerequisite entry requirements for any unit in this qualification. Some units build on information presented in the Certificate III in Business and Certificate III in Business Administration, but it is not essential that you complete this qualification first.
Applicants who have not completed IT, word processing and/or spreadsheet units at Certificate II or Certificate III level have experienced difficulty with the demands of equivalent Certificate IV unit requirements. While we can provide supplementary training to help you develop the necessary underlying skills, we may have to apply an additional fee for this service. This will be discussed and confirmed with you following the intial training session in relevant units.
To assist you with evaluating your skill level relative to the requirements of the Certificate IV software-related units, we can provide you with a skills test. Please contact us for further information.

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.
