National Diploma in Business

Level 6 Credits 120

This National Diploma is primarily intended for people who hold, or aspire to hold, positions which involve the management and leadership of several different teams or business units, and/or which cross organisational boundaries and affect at least a significant part of the whole organisation itself. Such people have a broader focus than managers/leaders of a single team and the electives A and B reflect this.

*National Diploma in Business (Level 5)
*National Certificate in Business Administration (Level 4)
*National Diploma in Business Administration (Level 5)
