Program Summary

LG Professionals SA, in partnership with UniSA, is pleased to offer a Graduate Certificate in Business Administration, contextualised to the South Australian local government sector.

This postgraduate degree is offered as part of a nested suite in Business Administration where each qualification extends to the next, so you can easily transition to the next level qualification. If you finish this graduate certificate and want to continue your studies, you can use this as a pathway and gain credit for successfully completed courses into the Graduate Diploma in Business Administration or Master of Business Administration.

The Graduate Certificate in Business Administration is a four-course program. Participants who have completed the LG Professionals SA Strategic Management Program (SMP) (or past equivalent) or the Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) will receive one course credit into the program, therefore only need to complete three courses.

The fourth course, for those that have not completed the SMP or ELP, will  be coordinated in addition to this program, with assistance available to navigate your options.
