Students are required to attend pre-recorded online lectures and streamed research documentaries. They are also expected to read the set material before attending a study session in order to reinforce SSB’s focus on problem solving.
The School has developed a tailored learning experience model which sets a pre-defined level of proficiency for each student in a topic before they can move on to the next topic. This enables each student to learn at their own pace and then to test their knowledge during the study session. Facilitators and researchers lead the study sessions using recent research outcomes to lead the discussion. Students are also assigned a “learning mentor” and have access to individual support as required throughout the study session.
The SSB has implemented its continuous quality assurance of learning known as the Learning Experience Standards (LES). LES is based on accountability, transparency, relevance, and continuous improvement of the course. BSB51415 Diploma of Project Management complies with LES as documented in the course outlines. Doing so has allowed the Sydney School of Business to develop, monitor, evaluate, and revise the content of its programs.
Assessment consists of specific consulting projects, case study reports, role plays, and short answer question quizzes. Three units have been clustered together for the purposes of assessment so that a large project that pertains to a number of key skills can be conducted to assess a number of units holistically.
Entrants are required to have completed year 12(or equivalent) or a certificate IV in a relevant course. Students must also present proof of English proficiency in the form of current IELTS academic test result (not more than two years old) if English is not their first language. An IELTS score of 5.5 overall with no score below 5.5 in any skill area is required.
Students are selected based primarily upon whether or not they have satisfied the requirements for the course as explained above. Selection is also subject to course capacity. Students are accepted on a first come, first served basis. If a course is full, students will be offered a place in the same course for the next available start date.
Students may be eligible for course credit as a result of previous study, prior experience, or recognition of a competency currently held. Course credit can also be provided through national recognition, credit transfer, or recognition of prior learning.

The granting of course credit allows a student to be exempt from particular course units.
