School Business Director Programme

The School Business Director Programme provides experienced and aspiring school business directors with a personalised solution to further develop their professional learning. Participants are expected to be those school business managers who work in the context of increasingly diverse and complex settings, and face new challenges in terms of their leadership and management skills.
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), Diploma of School Business Management (DSBM) and Advanced Diploma of School Business Management (ADSBM). As a result, this opportunity will enable participants to achieve a nationally recognised professional qualification which reflects competence at the highest level of the profession and will also enable participants to continue their learning after the programme to a Masters level.
