Our courses

Our courses are designed and written by subject matter experts and qualified and experienced trainers. This ensures our materials are workplace-relevant and practical; they combine the theory with best practice from real-world scenarios. We can provide course materials in a variety of formats. This flexibility means that you can use the method of access which suits your specific needs, to make the study experience as convenient as possible.

When we tailor course materials to suit the needs of a corporate or a government group, we build in the client’s own systems and processes to tailor the content specifically to their own culture. In this way, all our courses meet the specific training needs of both individuals and organisations.

Learning with UNE Partnerships

We are committed to the provision of high-quality training to promote skills and knowledge in people and workplaces. Our emphasis is on the application of learning through accredited nationally-recognised qualifications, non-accredited courses and customised programs.

The qualifications and courses we offer are industry relevant and workplace-based, which ensures that skills are honed by direct application within the workplace. Encouraging the practical application of new skills increases confidence, and improves performance and commitment.

Customised solutions for your organisation

UNE Partnerships has worked side by side with government and business organisations for more than 30 years as a strategic partner to facilitate in achieving their potential and objectives.

Our focus is on building positive collaborative relationships to better understand your preferred organisational outcomes. We then work closely with you to customise delivery, assessment and evaluation while respecting and embracing your organisational strategic direction, objectives, systems, policies, procedures, culture and values.

A consultation and analysis process evaluates your objectives and the drivers for the training program, as well as assessing the learning needs of participants.

• Our focus on your needs in design and development ensures the training fits your organisation’s culture and strategic objectives. We can adapt existing qualifications, author new courses or adapt in-house courses to meet outcomes.
• Flexible delivery and scheduling meets your needs and priorities.
• Our specialist academic staff bring broad professional experience and provide a ‘real world’ element to delivery.
• Ongoing evaluation ensures that the program’s outcomes are measured and objectives met.
• Every student is supported by a caring and dedicated administrative team.

Learning pathways and further education

Our programs combine competency development with academic rigour to ensure that graduates are prepared for study at a higher level should they choose. Depending on your level of experience there are pathways to further education at vocational, undergraduate and postgraduate study levels.

There are a number of pathways to higher vocational awards through UNE Partnerships and in many cases you can claim credit for units in a different qualification or another qualification at the next level.

There are also pathways to University, such as UNE’s Bachelor of Business, which provides substantial credit for those who have successfully completed a Diploma or Advanced Diploma level qualification in a business or management field and are early in their management career.
