Cert IV in Leadership & Management BSB40520

MODAL is a Nationally Registered Training Organisation (RTO-50289) delivering the Diploma of Leadership and Management for organisations who need leaders to apply knowledge, practical skills and experience in leadership and management across a range of enterprise and industry contexts.

Program Outcomes:

Suitable for
  • Individuals working as developing and emerging leaders and managers within their organisation
  • Individuals responsible for their own performance, whilst also providing leadership guidance and support for others. They also have some responsibility for organising and monitoring the output of their teams
Core Units Include
  • BSBXCM401 – Apply communication strategies in the workplace
  • BSBXTW401 – Lead and facilitate a team
  • BSBLDR413 – Lead effective workplace relationships
  • BSBOPS402 – Coordinate business operational plans
  • BSBLDR411 – Demonstrate leadership in the workplace

Both the Diploma of Leadership and Management (BSB50420) and the Certificate IV in Leadership and Management (BSB40520) are nationally recognised qualifications that provide organisations with confidence in the leadership capability being developed across their workforce.

For L&D professionals, these qualifications offer more than formal accreditation. They provide a structured and credible pathway for building leadership capability, supporting internal talent development and creating clearer progression opportunities for emerging and established leaders alike.

Developed in line with current industry expectations, these qualifications reflect the practical skills, knowledge and behaviours leaders need to perform effectively in today’s workplaces. They can also support broader workforce planning by strengthening succession pathways, leadership bench strength and longer-term career development.

What makes MODAL’s accredited leadership programs different is the way the learning is designed to be applied to the workplace. Participants do not simply complete formal training in isolation. They take what they are learning and apply it in real time to their current role, projects and team environment.

This approach is grounded in the 70:20:10 learning model, which recognises that meaningful development happens through a combination of formal learning, guided support and practical experience. In our experience, the strongest leadership growth occurs when formal development is immediately reinforced through real workplace application and supported through coaching and further guidance.

That is why MODAL’s accredited programs are designed to combine structured learning with practical on-the-job application and supported coaching development. The result is a learning experience that is not only accredited, but relevant, embedded and far more likely to create lasting impact for both the participant and the organisation.

Real Outcomes.
Measurable Organisational Impact.

As a leader, navigating this kind of uncertainty and change can seem impossible. You don’t know where the next few weeks or even days are going to take you, and on top of that, your team is looking to you for the stability and direction that you may not be able to provide.

Why This Approach Stands Above the Rest

MODAL's mentoring program has had a meaningful impact on both mentees and mentors.
