Do you want the skills for a flexible career that could take you anywhere?
When you complete the Certificate III in Business you'll have skills that employers are looking for, making you ideal for roles in data entry, customer service, accounts or as an office clerk.
You will gain skills and knowledge in basic MYOB, workplace organisation, customer service, workplace health and safety, desktop publishing, spreadsheets, creating electronic presentations and much more.
Full-time attendance is equivalent to three days a week and this includes one day a week in a simulated business at some locations (Murdoch, Mandurah, Rockingham, Thornlie).
With industry and government forecasting a strong demand for office workers in coming years, you'll be ready for recruiting.
If you choose to enrol in one additional unit AUK03, you may also be eligible for the BSB30415 Certificate III in Business Administration, saving you time and money, and improving your career prospects.
A full study pathway to diploma level is available.

This course is available as a traineeship.
Entrance requirements for traineeships
You must be employed in a training contract by an appropriate organisation to study an apprenticeship or traineeship.
In a traineeship you also gain hands-on skills and work experience, and improve your employment prospects, while earning a wage. On successful completion you will gain a nationally recognised qualification which can lead to rewarding career options. The difference between a traineeship and an apprenticeship is that a traineeship can be either a full time or part time employment based training arrangement, usually for a nominal duration of 12 months or more, generally in a non-trade related area.
To find out how to arrange a traineeship and study at South Metropolitan TAFE, please contact the Jobs and Skills Centre closest to you.
- Completion of this qualification provides you with the opportunity to become a customer service advisor, data entry operator, general clerk, word processing operator, accounts clerk, or receptionist.
