Certificate III In Business

Open up a world of career opportunities in business by completing a traineeship in your workplace.

Combine work-based training as a workplace trainee in the business industry and learn the theoretical elements with formal training from Chisholm.

Students must be employed within the administration/business industry and a training contract between the employer and the trainee is required prior to enrolment. Traineeships are a great way to be paid for work, learn and earn a qualification.
The Certificate III in Business qualification provides foundational skills and knowledge needed to start your career in the business world. You will become competent in a wide range of general information and communications including critical thinking.

Within the qualification you will learn how to design and produce spreadsheets, write simple documents, organise schedules, maintain financial records as well as being able to engage in workplace communications and work as a team member.
Individuals who work in these fields apply broad sets of skills, including foundational knowledge in critical thinking and customer service skills, to support a range of technologies, processes, procedures, policies, people and clients in a variety of work contexts.

Your Chisholm trainer will help set you up with everything you need and tailor your program to best suit your workplace. Your Chisholm trainer will be available online for any queries throughout the course, in addition to scheduled classes and monthly visits to review how you are progressing throughout the course.
