Visual design principles, slide structure, pacing, eye contact, and audience management are all covered.

What units will I study?
Three nationally recognised units: BSBCMM411 Make presentations, BSBCRT412 Articulate, present and debate ideas, and BSBTEC303 Create electronic presentations. You also get free access to our Thrive wellbeing program.
How much does it cost, and what’s included?
$370. That covers all three nationally recognised units, your trainer, and free access to our Thrive wellbeing program, which sells on its own for $270. Afterpay and ZipPay are available. There’s nothing added at the end.
Can I start today?
Yes. This is a rolling-start course, so there are no intake dates and no waiting for a term to begin — you enrol and you start. Most students finish in about six weeks, but it’s self-paced, so you set the speed.
I get nervous presenting. Is this course going to help with that?
That’s who it’s built for. Nobody is born comfortable in front of a room. The three units take you through structuring what you want to say, building the slides so they support you rather than compete with you, and holding your ground when someone pushes back — BSBCRT412 is specifically about articulating, presenting and debating ideas. You practise in a self-paced course with a trainer giving you feedback, not in front of your boss.
Is a short course actually worth anything on its own?
These are three nationally recognised units, not a certificate of attendance. You finish with a statement of attainment naming BSBCMM411, BSBCRT412 and BSBTEC303 — recognised by employers Australia-wide and by any RTO. That’s the difference between this and a $49 online presentation course: that gives you a PDF, this goes on your training record permanently.
Do I get a real trainer, or a chatbot?
A named trainer, even on a short course — which matters more here than on most, because presenting is a skill someone has to watch and give you honest feedback on. You can phone them or book a one-to-one video session. No helpdesk queue, and no AI marking your assessments.
Do I need experience?
No — it’s designed to build your confidence from the ground up. No prior experience needed.
Does it count toward a full qualification?
Yes. The units credit toward the Certificate IV in Marketing and Communication (BSB40820). Because that qualification is priced per unit, credit transfer means you pay less for the full course later — so $370 spent here isn’t $370 wasted if you decide to keep going. Send us your statement of attainment when you enrol and we’ll tell you exactly what carries across.
What do I need to enrol?
A USI — a free Unique Student Identifier, get one here — and photo ID. No prior qualifications and no experience required. It’s delivered 100% online, so you can study from anywhere in Australia.
