In each Sterling Business College program area there may be qualification levels (Certificate II, Certificate III, Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma). Each qualification level represents a combination of skills that enable our graduates to perform various job-related tasks at a certain standard.
If you’ve completed 10 or 11 years of school or equivalent, you’ll normally begin at Certificate II or III level. If you’ve completed 12 years of school or equivalent, you may choose to start at Certificate IV or Diploma level.
Sterling Business College as a pathway into university and the workforce
Sterling Business College is a smart alternative pathway to university or the workforce. Through our Certificate IV programs, we offer the opportunity to obtain practical training and vocational qualifications while at the same time meeting university degree entry requirements. Our students study in a relaxed but professional environment, to transition them into university life.
Sterling Business College Diploma programs will receive up to one year’s advanced standing at most Australian universities.
Our students may also progress directly into the workforce and the assistance of our “Employer Connection Program” is available to all our graduates, free of charge.
