Advanced Diploma of School Business Management

Advanced Diploma of School Business Management

The Advanced Diploma of School Business Management (ADSBM) supports the professional learning of experienced school business managers (SBMs). It is offered as part of the National College’s suite of school business management programmes and builds on the already very successful Certificate of School Business Management (CSBM) and Diploma of School Business Management (DSBM).

The advanced diploma will help school business managers to make enhanced contributions in increasingly complex organisational settings.

Key facts

  • Participants will also improve their research skills to understand the school as an organisation and critically evaluate its adaptation to the changing educational environment of the 21st century.
  • Professional skills developed include: performance management, programme management, strategic financial management, organisational transformation and change management.

Duration

The programme takes approximately 12 months to complete.

Delivery method

ADSBM is delivered via a variety of face-to-face residential sessions, online interactive materials, guided and independent research activities and online communities.
