Diploma of Business BSB50101
Aim
Students will develop the necessary skills and knowledge to undertake management and leadership roles in not-for-profit organisations, where the workplace context includes both paid and volunteer team members.
Participants
The Diploma of Business is designed for people who have a minimum industry experience of two years, directly managing or coordinating teams consisting of paid staff and volunteers.

Transition of Training Packages
The Business Services BSB01 Training Package has been revised and updated to the Business Services BSB07 Training Package, which was accredited on 17 February, 2008. There is a 12-month period where there is a changeover of courses and part of this process is in allowing maximum flexibility and fairness to all current students to give them the option to migrate to the new qualification. The revision of a Training Package is necessary due to changes in industry and the application of Employability Skills. The transition period, when enrolments can occur, ends on 17 February 2009. Students who are enrolled in the current Diploma of Business at that time have a Teach Out period in which to complete their studies. Existing students also have the option of transferring to the new BSB07 course and can do so immediately. From February 2009, only the new courses will be available.

On enrolment each student is allocated a tutor who will support the student throughout the course. Contact with the tutor will be not less than monthly and will be in accordance with the tutoring schedule agreed between student and tutor.
