National Diploma in Business (Level 5)
NZQF Level 5

About the course

This qualification recognises the broad base of technical business competence required for people entering the workforce in business related roles, people aspiring to middle management and supervisory positions, and people wishing to extend their business skills. People who hold this qualification have the skills, knowledge and competence to undertake a broad range of business activities, and to carry out a mix of specialised operations involving a degree of self directed work, and the supervision of processes or people. The elective nature of the qualification allows the selection of standards for the knowledge and skills most appropriate for the roleholder.

This qualification can build on the skills developed in the (expiring) National Certificate in Business (Level 4) [Ref: 0782] or those contained in the National Certificate in Business Administration (Level 4) [Ref: 0634] and the National Certificate in Business (First Line Management) (Level 4) [Ref: 0649]. It can lead to higher level qualifications requiring a greater level of specialisation and competence including the National Diploma in Business (Level 6) [Ref: 1499]. The range of qualifications is designed to provide a coherent set of qualifications that provide flexible entry and exit points and allow specialisation to meet the requirements of individual roleholders.

Candidates should seek recognition of current competency wherever this is relevant to this qualification. This can be done through workplace assessment processes, or through an accredited training provider.
