Graduate Certificate in Small Business Management

Career opportunities

Improve business performance

The characteristics of the small business sector in Australia are diverse. The Australian Bureau of Statistics has estimated that at least 96% of all Australian non-agricultural private businesses are small businesses, in that they have fewer than 20 employees. Data from the National Centre for Vocational Education and Research (NCVER) indicate the majority of small business owners / managers have undertaken some form of tertiary education. However, the NCVER report also notes that the lack of management expertise is the most important factor in the failure of small businesses.

Whatever business you are in and whatever business cycle you are currently at (start-up, crisis/survival, growth) you need to have knowledge and skills in small business management. This course provides opportunities to leverage your existing knowledge to enhance the performance of your business.

The course also offers business practitioners who service the small business sector with a unique insight into how they operate. This knowledge can provide a competitive advantage for small business service providers, which could improve their business performance.
