This Certificate programme is intended for those individuals who are employed in a supervisory capacity or who currently have mentoring/leadership functions as part of their existing job roles. The specific assessment requirements make this qualification unsuitable for anyone who is currently not employed in such a position. While some things can be simulated in a workshp environment, not all assessment requirements can be met this way.

Certificate IV in Frontline Management
You will need to complete 10 units of competency to complete the full BSB40407 Certificate IV in Frontline Management. 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 must be employed in a supervisory or team leadership role (or have at least mentoring requirements) at the time of enrolling due to the specific evidence requirements of several key units.
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, Certificate III in Business Administration, Certificate IV in Business Administration and Certificate IV in Customer Contact, but it is not essential that you complete any of these qualifications first.

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.
Delivery issues
Our enrolment form contains an explanation of issues which could require negotiation:
- BSBFIA402A Report on financial activity
- BSBCMM401A Make a presentation
- BSBREL401A Establish networks
You should also be aware that past students have found units in business software to be challenging when they lacked basic skills in computer use or familiarity with Word and Excel to at least intermediate level. Touch typing, while not being essential for these units, is recommended for those attending workshops to avoid being left behind in practical exercises. While we can assist you develop the underpinning skills, you may incur additional costs.
Detailed information about these units is available on the National Training Information System search engine. If you have any questions about these units or the delivery issues identified above, please see the Special Notes section of our enrolment form, or contact us for clarification on how identified delivery issues can be addressed in your enrolment.
