Are you ready to turn a dream into a flourishing business? If you complete Certificate IV in Entrepreneurship and New Business, you will have a practical understanding of what it takes to run a successful small business or establish a new venture within a larger organisation.
This qualification reflects the role of individuals establishing or operating a business providing self-employment, as well as those establishing a new venture as part of a larger organisation. These individuals use well developed skills and a broad knowledge base to solve a range of unpredictable problems and analyse and evaluate information from a variety of sources.
