Students are required to have access to a workplace and/or team environment, ideally to apply business and procurement principles; this may include a previous workplace. You need access to a computer and an internet connection. The program is best suited to those with some workplace experience to apply their learning to.
Regardless of the chosen study method, all of our students at Scope Training are assigned to a staff member for ongoing support via phone, email or virtual meetings as required through to completion of their qualification. We encourage students to maintain regular contact with their training consultant to get the most out of their studies.
Upon successful completion of 12 chosen units, participants will be awarded the Diploma of Business (Procurement) BSB50120. This program will provide the skills and knowledge to enable participants to effectively and confidently work in a procurement role. The key benefits will include an
understanding of the private sector environment, practical skills in research, planning and implementing procurement, as well as provide participants with a working knowledge of contracts and contract management.
The Diploma of Business (Procurement) conveys to employers that the holder has practically demonstrated the skills and knowledge to work in procurement and/or contracting environments.

To attain the Diploma of Business (Procurement) RPL is a 3-step process:
- Step 1 – Suitability assessment: Scope reviews your resume/experience summary to determine if RPL is appropriate.
- Step 2 – Evidence gathering: You work with Scope to show your experience and knowledge meet the requirements of the Diploma. Evidence types include evidence of negotiation/communication with stakeholders, Scope of Works, Requests for Quote, meeting minutes from project start-up meetings, and other procurement documentation.
- Step 3 – Award of qualification upon successful assessment.
Note: If you have never worked as a contract administrator or supported a purchasing manager, RPL would not be an appropriate pathway. In that case, online enrolment is the recommended route.
