Diploma of Leadership and Management
The BSB50420 Diploma of Leadership and Management is a nationally recognised qualification for individuals who apply knowledge, practical skills and experience in leadership and management across a range of enterprise and industry contexts.
The qualification reflects roles where individuals display initiative and judgement in planning, organising, implementing and monitoring their own workload and the workload of others. Participants develop communication and leadership capability to support individuals and teams to meet organisational requirements.
The course also develops the ability to plan, apply and evaluate solutions to unpredictable workplace problems and to identify, analyse and synthesise information from a range of sources.
PTG's selected units provide a practical focus on communication, critical thinking, workplace relationships, emotional intelligence, team effectiveness, operational planning, people performance, meetings, customer service and personal leadership.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to BSB50420 at the time of publication. Completion of the qualification does not, by itself, grant an occupational licence or guarantee a particular employment or promotion outcome.
There are no formal entry requirements specified for BSB50420 on the National Register.
Before enrolment is confirmed, Paradigm Training Group will review the prospective student's existing skills, experience, learning needs and intended outcome to determine whether the qualification and PTG's delivery arrangements are suitable.

BSB50420 is competency based. Students must demonstrate the knowledge and practical skills required by each unit of competency rather than simply attend the workshop or complete a set amount of time.
Assessment is conducted in accordance with the requirements of each unit and may involve a combination of:
- Written and online knowledge assessments.
- Projects, plans, reports and other business documents.
- Case studies and workplace or simulated business activities.
- Presentations, meetings, discussions or role-play activities where required.
- Practical demonstration of leadership and management skills.
- Collection of suitable supporting evidence where required by an assessment task.
Assessment activities must allow the student to demonstrate the requirements of the relevant unit in a workplace or appropriately simulated business environment where required by the unit.
Students who do not initially demonstrate competency will receive feedback and advice about further evidence, training, practice or reassessment required. Reassessment is conducted in accordance with PTG's assessment policies and the student's enrolment arrangements.
