Build Confident, Well-Rounded Business CapabilityBusiness roles often grow faster than the training people receive. You’re expected to solve problems, communicate clearly, support teams, manage expectations and keep work moving — usually all at once. It’s easy to feel capable but under-recognised.
This Certificate IV gives structure to the skills you already use daily, while developing the business judgement, communication and coordination ability needed to step into supervisor, coordinator or office-based leadership roles. It’s practical, supportive, and focused on real workplace outcomes.
If you want to feel more confident, get officially qualified or open doors to higher-paying business roles, this course provides a clear, flexible pathway forward.

Geoffrey Celliers
“The GTI trainers and staff were always available when I called and happy to help. Training assessments were relevant and I can now implement what I learnt on the job. Particular assessments prompted me to explore, understand and apply many policies/legislative documents I hadn’t considered previously. Questions were written well for easy comprehension, making learning easy. The online base of the course made downloading, uploading and checking assessment simple.”
