Unit Of Competency
BSB30120 Certificate III in Business
Training Prerequisites
Two enrolment pathways. Direct enrolment requires no employment. The traineeship pathway requires employment and a training contract.
BSB30120 Certificate III in Business is a nationally recognised, competency-based qualification completed over 12 months. It comprises six core units and seven elective units selected by Harness Energy for administration and business support roles.
This is not a purely theoretical course. The focus is on understanding the theory and then applying it in your working life. When applying, consider how you want to approach your study and the role your organisation will play in supporting you, as subsidies may be available to eligible applicants or their employers.
Our approach is a supported one: regular access to your trainer, comprehensive materials and a clear study plan. We are a state and national award-winning training organisation with the capacity to deliver and small enough to care.
This qualification will suit your career aspirations if any of these apply to you:
- You are building your skills in industries such as building and construction, manufacturing, mining and resources, oil and gas, energy and utilities, rail and freight, transport and logistics, or government and defence
- You are working in a business administration role and want to formalise your skills, with a supportive work environment
- You provide business support across internal teams, divisions or multiple sites, covering functions such as communication, scheduling and coordination
- You are looking to build your judgement and decision-making skills
- You deliver operational business services in an environment where a working knowledge of health and safety is valuable
This qualification comprises 13 units of competency: six core and seven electives, selected by Harness Energy for administration and business support roles. Students complete all 13 units — there is no individual elective selection required.

Where a learner isn’t in a workplace, assessment can be completed through simulated workplace activities.
You will need a computer and reliable internet access to attend the virtual workshops and complete online learning between them.
