What is a BSB40515 Certificate IV in Business Administration?

A Certificate IV is a VET (Vocational education and training) qualification that teaches students the theory of administrative skills, as well as providing an Australian work placement or work experience. You’ll be required to complete a number of core units as well as potentially elective units that allow you to specialise in a specific area, and help you with future study. A Cert IV in Business Administration is usually taught at a TAFE school, but can also be taught through a number of other registered training organisations. (RTO’s) Course fees vary between institutions.

During a course you’ll cover a range of subjects, possibly including (with course codes):

  • BSBWRT401 Write Complex Documents
  • BSBITU402 Develop and Use Complex Spreadsheets
  • BSBWHS401 Implement and Monitor WHS Policies, Procedures and Programs to Meet Legislative Requirements
  • BSBADM405 Organise Meetings
  • BSBITU401 Design and Develop Complex Text Documents
  • BSBCUS402 Address Customer Needs
  • BSBADM406 Organise Business Travel
  • BSBADM409 Coordinate Business Resources
  • BSBCMM401 Make A Presentation
  • BSBREL401 Establish Networks
  • BSBINM401 Implement Workplace Information Systems
  • BSBINN301 Promote Innovation in a Team Environment
  • BSBSUS401 Implement and Monitor Environmentally Sustainable Work Practices
  • BSBRSK401 Identify Risk and Apply Risk Management Processes
  • BSBCUS401 Coordinate Implementation of Customer Service Strategies
  • BSBMKG413 Promote Products and Services
  • BSBRES411 Analyse and Present Research Information
  • BSBMKG414 Undertake Marketing Activities
  • BSBADM407 Administer Projects
  • BSBFIA401 Prepare Financial Reports

Why Study a Certificate IV in Business Administration?

A Cert IV in Business Administration prepares you for a career as a receptionist, office administrator, personal assistant, project assistant, or can be the first step into a career in business. A Certificate IV can also be the perfect way to create pathways to other studies, including a diploma of business administration. It will give you the skills you need to deal with unpredictable problems, word processing, produce complex desktop systems, work with business documents, and give you information from a variety of sources about what your daily work will entail.

How to study a Certificate IV

If you’ve already completed a Certificate III in the same area or worked in the industry for a number of years, then you may be able to apply for recognition of prior learning (RPL). Otherwise, you’ll need to meet the entry requirements for the specific course you’re applying for, which usually involve numeracy and literacy requirements to enrol. International students should check with CRICOS to ensure that they’re eligible to enrol.

Many TAFEs and other RTOs offer both full time and part-time study options for students so that you can study at your own pace. Several schools also offer a range of delivery modes, so that you can study both online and in-person.

For more information about tuition fees, payment plans, AQF and full fee requirements enquire about a specific course above!
