Dymond Institute of Business has just published its first Marketing eBook for accredited Marketing Courses.  Mapped to three Units of Competency (subjects), this digital resource is ideal for people considering study, although somewhat reluctant to invest hundreds of dollars, without knowing for sure if online study is right for them.

At only $39.95, this resource also contains official assessments (mapped to these three units).  Therefore, people who purchase the eBook can try the assessments without the need to formally enrol into one of our online programs.

We're pleased to announce that 2nd term enrolments are now open for our (Online) Certificate IV in Marketing, Diploma of Marketing and highly popular Dual Diploma.  Visit Dymond Institute of Business for further details.    

An introduction to RPL Week

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Week is a brand new initiative of Dymond Institute of Business.

Our Institute recognises that there are thousands of people working in Australia's diverse economy, with substantial experience in Business or Marketing, who do not hold a formal qualification. RPL Week is about increasing the accessibility of nationally recognised qualifications to these individuals, through recognition of prior learning, at a price in which everyone can afford.

A tiny investment of $950 can set you apart

In today's employment market, being able to ‘stand-out' at point of interview is particularly important. Irrespective of your level of skill, experience and expertise, the vast majority of employers expect their applicants' to possess a formal, tertiary qualification. If you have a Diploma qualification you're in with a chance. If you don't, your application is likely to be quickly culled. Don't take our word for it - visit Seek and see for yourself.

What is recognition of prior learning (RPL)

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the formal recognition of a person's current skills and knowledge.  The prior learning may have been acquired through informal education, work, community, sporting and general life experiences.  This current knowledge can greatly expedite the attainment of your qualification, or it can, in many situations, lead to the issuance of a full nationally recognised qualification.

Don't study what you already know!

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is about formally recognising people in the areas in which we're already competent. In essence, being forced to study what you already know, is not only costly, but it's also a waste of your valuable time. RPL enables our clients' to gain a partial or full Diploma of Business and/or Diploma of Marketing - without the need to undertake study.

How does RPL work?

The process of RPL requires clients to submit evidence in accordance with the rules of assessment mandated by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). These rules state that assessment evidence must be valid, authentic, current and sufficient to make an informed assessment decision. Therefore, a number of methods will be used to assess an applicant's competency. These may include:

Oral or written questioning, Collecting tangible documented evidence, Observation of task performance, Challenge testing, and Third party validation reports from the candidate's current or past employers.

The type of evidence will vary depending upon the performance standards of the unit (subject), which you are being assessed against.  Dymond Institute's friendly staff will discuss these with you.

Which qualifications can I RPL?

To launch our inaugural RPL Week, we're offering two of our most popular business-related Diploma qualifications, at the incredibly affordable price of just $950. These qualifications are:

BSB51207 - Diploma of Marketing

BSB50207 - Diploma of Business

How much does RPL cost?

We normally charge $1,245 for each of these qualifications delivered through RPL assessment. From Monday 19 - Friday 23 March, however, it'll only cost you $950 to RPL the Diploma of Business or the Diploma of Marketing. That's correct, you'll save a massive $304.

NOTE: Full payment must be made during RPL week to be eligible for this special offer.

Dymond Institute heads to Singapore

February 2012 will earmark an important milestone for Dymond Institute of Business, with the Institute's CEO, Russell Dymond, announcing an exclusive and value added alliance with Singapore-based educational provider, Tick 3.

Mr Dymond commented, "We're extremely excited to announce that we've successfully established a bilateral educational partnership agreement with Tick 3.  Tick 3 has been providing quality training and assessment in Singapore for the past decade, under the leadership of Managing Director, Ms Florence Yeo".

Dymond continued, "In 2007, I had the pleasure of working with Florence, during my time at TAFE Open Learning. It was clearly apparent then, that Florence was a highly motivated professional, who placed much emphasis on quality education, coupled with an incredible impetus on client satisfaction.  In the latter part of 2011, we embarked on a market development strategy, which encompassed penetrating international markets.  Subsequently, Singapore will be the first international region, approved to market and sell our suite of Australian nationally recognised online qualifications," he concluded.

Ms Yeo emphasised, "The partnership between Dymond Institute of Business and Tick 3 differs to that of Australian vocational education and training (VET) qualifications simply being delivered online to international students.  While Dymond Institute will be conducting the online training and assessment, Tick 3 will also be conducting face-to-face workshops in Singapore to ensure that our students' learning outcomes are fully optimised in familiar domestic surrounds".

Singapore students can study the following Australian courses, online:

Certificate IV in Marketing

Diploma of Marketing

Diploma of Business

Double Diploma of Marketing + Business 

Students interested in undertaking our programs should contact Tick 3 directly, to discuss the course, which best suits their individual needs.
