Central Coast region for completing a Certificate IV in Business (Human Resources), and was a finalist in the 2008 NSW Training Awards.
Randwick City Coucil A mix of outdoor and indoor staff from Randwick City Council commenced a Certificate IV in Business (Frontline Management).

Mortgage Broking Qualification
Our Certificate IV Financial Services (Mortgage Broking) course is seeing increased enrolments.
Brokers are starting to realise that their new staff can take advantage of government funding to pay for the course (except for the compulsory fee of $394) and in some cases receive $4000* in incentives.
It's great for existing brokers too because sometimes government incentives can pay for the course.
