Learners who have recently completed compulsory education and have chosen to follow a career in business management or a related vocation will be able to acquire the fundamental skills and knowledge to successfully enter the workplace. Whereas, those already in employment will be able to build on existing workplace competencies which will provide an opportunity to make an immediate and positive impact on an organisation and how it conducts its business. In addition, obtaining Level 4 Diploma in Business Management would be beneficial for those who are re-entering employment after a period of absence and for those who are seeking a career change.

Learners completing the Level 4 Certificate in Business Management will allow progress to:

the Level 5 Diploma in Business Management, or
