The content of the BSB50215 Diploma of Business will be in an online format supported by designated assessors. This includes a customised mix of videos featuring Jack Delosa, founder of The Entourage and experts in business entrepreneurship. In addition, there will be learning slides, screen casts, a list of specialised readings, case studies and customised assessment tasks.

With regular intake dates, each cohort of students will form a learning community that will be connected through our custom designed student portal.

Each group of students will have an assessor to

maximise continuity and a shared learning experience. Sessions with an assessor will cover requirements of assessment tasks that may include the following: • Research activities;

• The creation of business documents and reports; • Preparation for practical skills assessment; and • The application of knowledge and skills to the

entrepreneurial and business environment

Assessors can also provide additional learning support if a student requires assistance with an aspect of the course. The assessors can be contacted by email and they can call students to provide guidance for assessment tasks and coaching assistance when required.

There will be two one-day workshops each calendar year held in Sydney. Attendance at these workshops is not mandatory and their content does not relate to the assessments that are required to be submitted The 8 units of competence in the BSB50215

Diploma of Business will be released progressively over the duration of the course. Each unit release will incorporate related assessment tasks.
