Gippsland campus + Full-fee-paying course + Attendance optional
The Faculty of Business and Economics offers executive certificates as
faculty-based awards in many discipline areas. These awards offer a flexible
and business relevant program for professionals and experienced managers who do
not currently hold a university degree and need to obtain or upgrade their
knowledge and skills at graduate level.
The executive certificates involve the study of four units in the relevant
discipline area and provide for articulation opportunities, where a relevant
graduate diploma course exists, into other graduate-level courses for those
students who attain an average of credit level or above throughout their
studies.
Discipline areas currently available, their course codes and unit fees for 2001
are as follows:
Please note the executive certificate fees for 2002 have not been determined as of June 2001 and may be subject to increase. International student fee: $1800 per unit for 2001.
Admission
is open to non-degree applicants who have:
(i) at least six years business experience, and
(ii) been either an owner manager or in a management/supervisor position
or administered expenditure in excess of $500,000 pa for at least three years,
and
(iii) are recommended by their employer or, if self-employed, provide
suitable references.
Applicants should note that there are two intakes per year to these courses,
one to commence in first semester and the second to commence in second semester.
It is strongly recommended that participants have access to a personal computer and a modem to facilitate email communication with their lecturer, other participants and electronic access to library services.

The course provides knowledge of fundamental accounting concepts and standards as well as practical and analytical skills in accounting that will assist managers to better understand the financial consequences of their decisions on their organisations. The course consists of four units from the following:
Please note that some of the above units require prior completion of a prerequisite unit.

unit available and normally delivered through off-campus distributed learning

It may be possible to articulate from a graduate diploma into a subsequent masters program.
