Leaders aren’t born — they’re coached, mentored, and prepared.
This is not just another management qualification. Our BSB50420 Diploma of Leadership and Management is designed for professionals who want to step up, influence others, and create impact — not just manage tasks.
You’ll learn how to lead with vision, build high-performing teams, and make decisions that inspire real results in today's business landscape and for the future.
Because leadership isn’t about a title. It’s about the skills that create impact and drive outcomes. Successful leaders think strategically, motivate people, and guide organisations through change.
Where insight meets action — and leadership becomes influence.
You won’t just study the theory of leadership — you’ll practice it and learn how to apply it in your current and future roles.
This course uses real-world case studies, scenario-based learning, and interactive projects to help you apply leadership tools directly to the challenges you face at work in your current role and help prepare you for future promotions.
You’ll walk away with more than a certificate — you’ll be equipped to become a confident, decisive, empathetic, and forward-thinking leader who makes a lasting impact.
This is your launchpad to becoming an empowering leader who drives change, inspires people, and delivers real results.
According to Hays, 85% of Australian employers report internal skills gaps. And yet — the demand for skilled leaders continues to grow and 86% are now hiring based on skills.
That’s not just a challenge — it’s your opportunity.
And we’re here to help you step into it.
At IAP, we do more than deliver content — we help transform the way you think.

Gain the leadership, management, and people-focused skills to step into senior roles, inspire teams, and drive organisational success.
Develop the tools to motivate, influence, and guide others while building resilience and emotional intelligence as a leader.
Learn how to manage change, foster innovation, and apply adaptive strategies that keep you relevant across industries.
Work on practical projects and case studies that mirror real organisational challenges so you can apply your learning immediately.
