Students can complete topics in marketing, accounting, business law, economics, management, business information systems and communication in business. The Curtin College Pathway programs are delivered in Sydney on University campus by Curtin College. There are similar programs around the world with the same approach to preparing students for University entry. Also there are quite a number of Universities open to accepting adult students who do not hold any academic prerequisites for standard university entrance.
An alternative now being pursued by many students is to elect to do the same course through a Business College in order to jump start their earning career. Instead of following the University degree path a business College student now can gain a head start when they enroll through a Business College by being able to immediately start earning good money while gaining both invaluable work experience and academic training.Until the Business College initiative few college students were able to earn $50,000 to $100,000 while completing their study courses. Furthermore it was unheard of for a fresh graduate to be able to earn upwards of $200,000 in their first year out on completing their diploma course. Additionally by adopting the business oriented approach of "earn while you learn" graduating students from the Diploma of Commerce will have established a viable business by the time they complete their course.
After completing the Diploma of Commerce course all further studies you might care to pursue can be easily funded by the business you establish during your 1 year Commerce Diploma course (many students actually complete the Commerce Diploma program in less than 6 months plus they gain additional academic qualifications such as the TAE 40010 Teacher Training and Assessment Certificate). If you are still contemplating a University degree then it will pay dividends to first undertake the Commerce Diploma so you can fund all your university fees instead of being burdened by debt. And, wouldn't it be nice to have a business which you can operate part-time while you study that can generate over $100,000 a year?
If you would like to build your career in the field of Education it is recommended that in addition to taking the Diploma of Commerce you also enroll in the TAE Teaching Certificate course - which will take you less than 3 months more study to complete all. Once you have both the Dipoma of Commerce and Teaching qualifications you are able to catapult your earnings as a College tutor, teacher and assessor - as well as being qualified as an Industry Trainer and Business Consultant.
The Diploma of Commerce specialization currently being promoted by the Colleges Institute, America Business College and Melbourne Business College is in Marketing. Marketing skills are in high demand in the business sector - and courses in marketing are thus extremely popular for students.
