Advanced Diploma of Community Sector Management
The nationally recognised qualification for managers who lead community services, teams and programs. Already doing the job? Get it through Recognition of Prior Learning: your experience is assessed against the units, with no study required.
A qualification for the services you already run
This is the senior management qualification for the community sector. It’s for people who manage staff, budgets, programs and compliance, and who plan where a service goes next. If you’ve been in that seat, Recognition of Prior Learning lets an assessor from our partner RTO check your experience against each unit, with no classes to attend. Your free consult comes first, so you know whether you’re eligible before you pay anything.

Common questions
How much experience do I need for RPL?
It depends on the work you’ve done and how closely it matches the units. Managing staff, budgets, programs, risk and compliance in a community organisation all counts. Your free eligibility check tells you where you stand before you pay anything.
How long does the RPL assessment take?
The whole process takes about 2–3 weeks, from your eligibility check to the assessor’s decision. Once your eligibility is confirmed you enrol and pay in person, and having your evidence ready early keeps it moving.
What counts as evidence?
Usually your resume, a reference letter from a supervisor or employer, proof of identity and your USI. Examples like business plans, budgets, policies you’ve written or reports to a board help too, with confidential details removed. Your advisor will tell you exactly what your assessor needs.
