What Is the Advanced Diploma of Business?
The BSB60120 Advanced Diploma of Business is a nationally recognised qualification for experienced professionals ready to think and lead strategically. You might already make senior business decisions and carry organisational influence, often before anyone formally taught you the frameworks behind strategy.
This qualification formalises that capability. It builds advanced skills in strategic planning, organisational performance, leadership and decision-making, so you can move confidently into higher-level influence and direction. Assessments are based on real workplace projects rather than exams, so you apply each framework to decisions you are already making.
Study is fully online and self-paced, and Recognition of Prior Learning can reduce your study time. It suits senior managers and business leaders stepping into strategic roles, and experienced professionals who want a recognised credential to match the influence they already hold.
Step Into Strategic Leadership With Confidence
With the Advanced Diploma of Business, you’ll be able to think and lead strategically, shaping plans, improving organisational performance and making higher-level decisions with confidence.
Experienced professionals often make senior calls before anyone teaches them the strategy behind them. This qualification formalises that capability, so your influence is matched by a recognised credential.
