About the course

This qualification recognises the skills and knowledge expected of people who are, or are seeking to be first line managers (team leaders, supervisors, or charge hands). Holders of this qualification are likely to be responsible for managing people, resources, and/or work operations.

The compulsory section specifies key skills and knowledge in relationship management, performance management, and workplace organisational principles required of first line managers at this level. The elective sections allow candidates to select from a diverse range of outcomes to allow the qualification to be focused on the specific needs of the individual, business, or workplace.

Knowledge and skills covered in the first two elective sections include relevant business skills such as administration, people development, financial skills, quality, systems and resources, and interpersonal skills. A third elective allows candidates to choose from anywhere on the National Qualifications Framework. Candidates may choose to include standards specific to their industry, or those from Occupational Health and Safety, or Assessment of Learning, or to build on earlier learning and develop a career pathway of their choosing.
