This course is ideal if you are exploring a career in business administration, or if you are looking to gain valuable, transferrable skills you can use across many industries.
In this course you'll learn a range of practical skills including designing, writing and producing simple business documents, personal wellbeing and work priorities, workplace communication, critical thinking and inclusive work practices.

The Certificate III in Business is an applied qualification. This means the student is required to clearly demonstrate practical assessment relating to most units. This either occurs in a workplace (in a paid or volunteer position) or if not available, in a simulated work environment (provided by TasTAFE).
There will be a requirement for role-plays, meetings and consulting with others. These practical assessments can be demonstrated online, in the workplace or you will need to attend a campus, where your application of skills can be physically demonstrated. The workplace needs to have the scope and environment for you to consult with others, make recommendations and organise meetings. These will need to be recorded for a teacher to observe. This aspect of the assessment is required for you to meet competency.
Successful completion of this qualification will prepare you to seek entry level employment across a wide range of business or administrative roles. You may also like to use this qualification as a pathway for study at Certificate IV level, such as TasTAFE's Certificate IV in Business (BSB40120).
This course is also available as a Traineeship.

Account details and instructions will be sent to you within 24 hours of applying. If you have previously undertaken the Literacy and Numeracy Assessment - we will review your results and notify you if further action is required.
We encourage you to consider if this is the right course for you by undertaking the Informed Choices Student Self-Assessment (Word).
It makes sense that you should be recognised for the things you already know how to do.
TasTAFE can assess your skills and knowledge based on your previous education, work history or life experience - which may help you to gain your qualification a whole lot faster!
