National Certificate in Business (Small Business Management)

This qualification recognises the base of competence, knowledge, and skills required to assess small business opportunities and establish small business ventures.

It is acknowledged that holders of the qualification will have diverse backgrounds and experience, and the qualification is structured to recognise a core of small business competence with flexibility to also recognise personal and business skills in areas relevant to the development of a business.

This national certificate is designed to provide a pathway to the National Diploma in Business (Small Business Management) [Ref: 0173]. There is some degree of commonality between the two qualifications. For example, the compulsory component of the certificate is part of the compulsory component of the diploma.
