The Diploma of Business is part of a dual qualification that also includes the Diploma of Leadership and Management.
For the Diploma of Business component, successful completion of this program requires you to demonstrate that you are competent in a total of 12 units of competency as outlined in the program structure.
You will be required to attend approximately up to 12 - 15 hours of face-to-face classes per week. Additionally, you will need to allow time for self-directed study including reading, research, preparation for classes, online collaboration, assessment completion and work placement activities.
Delivery and Learning
This program will be delivered over one-year, face-to-face at the NEC Hangar which is the training facility and headquarters of the Australian rules football club, Essendon Football Club. Some of the content may also be delivered on-site at RMIT University. With access to elite athletes, coaches, high-performance staff and mentors, the program allows students to immerse themselves in the operations of an AFL Club.
The main form of delivery will be in the classroom with some supervised self-directed learning. Learning will ensure that units are contextualised to industry applications wherever possible and that demonstrations and practical sessions and/or workplace sessions be incorporated wherever appropriate in the delivery strategy. You will experience a variety of approaches to learning and teaching. Classes are interactive and give you many opportunities to discuss ideas and practice new skills.
In addition to developing skills and knowledge for a particular job, this program also aims to help you to develop broad work skills, known as foundation skills.
Students are also required to actively participate in self-paced study outside the scheduled classes utilising a variety of online learning tools such as discussion boards, online quizzes and test yourself activities. This is all in the context of the sporting business industry and includes topics such as, personal development (in emotional intelligence and staff wellness), how a business is engaged (in marketing and consumer behaviour), the business environment (in sustainable practices and risk mindset) and outcome tools (in a project management mindset and meetings to advance results).
For learning and assessment purposes some units of competency have been grouped into clusters as listed below:

Assessment
Assessment tasks are designed to simulate the workplace and require you to demonstrate the practical application of your knowledge. If you have already developed competency through prior experience, you may apply for Credit Transfer/RPL before the program commences or at any time during the program. Please refer tohttps://www.rmit.edu.au/students/my-course/enrolment/apply-for-credit
All assessment tools ensure that there are processes in place to authenticate the evidence provided. These processes include questioning and third-party endorsement for RPL applicants, questioning/interviews/self-reflections for group assignments and questioning and the use of Turnitin for e-submissions. Many units have a component of group work that requires you to work collaboratively in simulated work situations. Assessment tasks will provide simulated scenarios and tasks which are equivalent to future job roles relevant to the program.
Methods of assessment of individual or clustered competencies will be dependent on individual requirements as stated in the training package. These will generally include:
observations of presentations
use of case studies and scenarios, including fact situations
work-simulated projects
various forms of tests
group work
practical demonstrations of skills
You will be provided with an assessment guide at the start of semester that includes instructions for each unit/cluster in the program.
Learner Support
In order to identify any learning support that individual learners may need to successfully complete the program, a customised online Language, Literacy (including digital) and Numeracy (LLN) assessment is conducted for all students prior to commencement of training. The test has been mapped to the Australian Core Skills Framework and is designed to highlight specific areas of assistance that may be required. Individualised learning support plans are then provided to students outlining the kind of support services that are available and how to access these. In addition, where cohorts of students are identified as having core skill gaps, teachers incorporate additional Language, Literacy and/or Numeracy learning activities into the delivery of the program.
If you require assistance with study skills you can access RMIT Study Support: https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-services/study-support/consultations
RMIT Study Support offers practical advice on assignment writing and discipline-specific language and learning skills. It can also assist with specific skills you may need to succeed in this program, including any language, literacy or numeracy problems.
If you have a disability, long-term illness and/or mental health condition you can access support from the Equitable Learning Services (ELS). In consultation with you, the ELS determines Reasonable Adjustments (RAs) and Equitable Assessment Arrangements (EAAs). This support provides equal opportunity in their studies in accordance with the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act 1992. The ELS also provides staff and students with information and assistance in relation to disability related matters.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners can gain support and encouragement from the Ngarara William Centre.
Ngarara Willim means ‘gathering place’ in the language of the Wurundjeri, the traditional custodians of the land where RMIT stands. Staff can assist learners to engage and re-engage with education. They offer ongoing guidance with study, living and cultural needs.
