Introduction
The Certificate II Leadership course allows individuals to take the next step in developing skills to effectively manage themselves and is a pathway course to the BSB30120 – Certificate III in Business qualification as well as other Certificate II and III vocationally specific courses. This course supports individuals with their transition to employment, further education and community participation. Similar to the 52878WA – Certificate I Leadership, this course is typically packaged with a suite of electives that create an engaging learning experience.
Pathways
Participants and employers are provided with advice on employment and further training pathways throughout the delivery of the program. While VTS may not offer all the qualifications indicated within the pathway, we identify relevant progression that may be attained:

Non-paid employment pathways also exist, such as office holders of local community organisations.
Mode of Study
This course is delivered face-to-face in a classroom with simulated work environment and is supported by manageable levels of preparation activities and prescribed homework. The face-to-face component is typically delivered over an 8 to 10 week period and students have up to six months to complete the course.
Entry Requirements
There are no entry requirements to study this qualification, although students must be able to provide a Unique Student Identifier (USI) and identification.
Students must also complete a short Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) assessment to assist VTS in identifying a learner’s eligibility and individual needs.
Learning Resources
VTS provides the student with the required learning resources.
Skills Recognition
Students may be eligible for recognition of prior learning or credit transfers, reducing the time and cost of their studies.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
At VTS, we recognise that you may have gained skills and knowledge through previous work, study or life experience. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that allows us to evaluate these existing skills and, where appropriate, give you credit for what you already know.
RPL can help reduce the amount of training you need to complete if your previous skills and experience meet the requirements for your course. Our team can talk you through the process and help you understand if it’s right for you.
If you believe you may be eligible, you will need to provide evidence of your skills and knowledge. This evidence must be:
- Authentic – your own work
- Sufficient – enough to show consistent competence over time
- Current – up to date with industry standards and practices
- Valid – relevant to the unit or qualification being assessed
To discuss RPL and whether it applies to your situation, please speak with our Student Services team or your trainer.
Credit Transfer
If you have previously completed units of competency that are equivalent to those in your course, you may be able to receive a credit transfer. This means you won’t need to repeat training for units you’ve already achieved.
To apply, you’ll need to provide certified copies of your qualification or statement of attainment, or your USI transcript. We will verify your documents with the issuing RTO or the national register before awarding any credit.
