ABOUT The university pathway option

Did you know that there are many different pathways to university that aren’t just about your ATAR/IB score?

Many Universities have alternate entry pathways. Depending on your choice of University and Degree you wish to enroll into you can Enroll into our Certificate Programs or our Diploma Courses as an alternate pathway into university. Study a course through BEST Training. A Certificate III is roughly equivalent to year 12, and certificate IV or diploma courses can be used for university entrance. In NSW students can access smart & skilled funding through BEST TRAINING from age 15 without needing a year 10 certificate which is subsidised training opportunities which are available to all NSW residents and citizens.

At BEST Training we offer our Business Management University Pathways Program which is a combination of the Certificate IV in Business BSB40120 and the Diploma of Business BSB50120. This course is held in the afternoons, every Tuesday afternoon from 3pm to 6pm and Friday afternoons from 3pm to 6pm. Students can join our face-to-face classes or undertake the training through a distance learning option.
