GTI offers three nationally recognised qualifications in leadership and management, each mapped to a specific career stage, so you start exactly where your experience sits. Not sure which level is yours? That is one honest conversation away.

What our graduates say

Different industries, different starting points, the same pattern of moving from doing the work to being recognised for it.

These units helped me develop knowledge of business functions I would not normally engage with, allowing me to be a more valuable, well-rounded manager. I would recommend it, especially to colleagues in similar roles.

Diploma graduate
BSB50420 · Leadership & Management

Being able to use my own business and experience to support my learning made all the difference. The flexibility of the training and the support staff is why I would recommend it.

AD
Advanced Diploma graduate
BSB60420 · Leadership & Management

Why GTI

Study that makes sense for working professionals

We are not the biggest RTO, and that is the point. We limit intake to protect a 95% completion rate, and we measure success by your outcomes.

Learn through your work

No fictional case studies. Use real workplace situations for your assessments and improve actual processes. Your boss will notice before you even graduate.

Support when you need it

Real people, not automated chatbots, and no overseas call centres. Real trainers who answer their phones, remember your name and understand your industry.

Use what you know

Recognition of Prior Learning validates and extends what you have already built, rather than making you sit through content you mastered years ago on the job. It can formally reduce the time, effort and cost of your qualification.

100% online and flexible

Study around shift work and family. There are no exams and a rolling start, so you can begin whenever you are ready.
