To help you, we have explained what to look for in a practice management course!

Nationally recognised

If practice management is a career path you want to pursue, it is important to consider a practice management course that is nationally recognised. There are short courses out there, however, if you can do a course where you receive a formal qualification it will make you more employable. If you have a nationally recognised qualification, you will stand out. You can check what courses are recognised on training.gov.au.
Our Diploma of Practice Management is nationally recognised. Through the provision of nationally recognised training, we can sustain high-quality healthcare professionals. This ensures that practice managers are not only able to meet, but exceed the required standards demanded by the industry.

Industry-endorsed

With the course being industry approved, it shows that the course and the provider have credibility, being widely recognised by both employers and industry. Therefore, it’s important to do your research and find out if the practice management course you’re looking into has been approved by the industry.
Our Diploma of Practice Management is accredited under the Australian Skills Framework. Therefore, we are one of the first places where top companies look to recruit. A TalentMed education gives employers confidence that you have the practical experience and industry skills to easily transition to the workplace.

Affordability

Your education can be a very expensive investment. Therefore, it’s important to consider how much the practice management course will cost. You will also need to think about what the return-on-investment will be for you!
With diplomas in Australia normally ranging from $10,000 to $15,000, our Diploma of Practice Management ranks as one of Australia’s most affordable qualifications. In addition, we have many payment options available to help with your tuition fees!

Comprehensive theory training

As practice management is an industry which covers a wide range of knowledge and skills, you need to make sure that your chosen course covers comprehensive theory. Also, if you want to become an Australian practice manager it’s important to select an Australian practice management course. This is because legalities will be different in Australia, compared to somewhere else in the world. Therefore, you need to make sure that what you are learning is relevant.
We believe it’s important to teach content that is relevant to becoming an Australian practice manager. In addition, our Diploma of Practice Management has Australian-based content. It has been designed to be relevant for Australian-based practice managers, who wish to work in, or for, Australian healthcare facilities. We cover Australian privacy and confidentiality laws, as well as Australian medical theory. All of the grammar and punctuation throughout the course is based on British English.

Real-world training

As a practice manager, you would be in charge of running the day-to-day business operations.

Finding a practice management course that stimulates the real-world is important so you are confident and work-ready.
Our nationally accredited training package includes real-world simulated scenarios. It contains examples that will allow you to practise examples of scenarios being a practice manager. Therefore, it stimulates the real world, by training you on how to manage a practice, with real-life examples.

Recruitment preparation

When looking into different practice management courses, it’s important to determine what one will improve your career prospects once you have completed it.
