What does it take to succeed in the world of retail? Whether you’re an employee or an employer, the answer is the same - the right skills. This is where training comes in, and it’s essential in every facet of the retail world.
To get the most bang for your buck in retail training, it’s important to pursue nationally accredited courses. These qualifications are recognised throughout Australia and ensure the same standards of quality whether students go on to work in Perth, Sydney or Hobart.
What accredited retail training courses does Barringtons offer?
Barringtons provides a variety of accredited retail training courses for Australian organisations and staff. These include:
The range of different certificate levels means that Barringtons is able to offer an option to suit all levels of expertise and experience. Of course, if students wish to continue their studies after completing a course, they can also put some of the work they have already completed towards their next qualification. For example, completing the Certificate II in Retail can be used as recognition of studies towards Certificate III in Retail, or another relevant Certificate III qualification.
While the duration of a Barringtons retail course will vary depending on the specific qualification, most courses take either 12 or 24 months.
One of the most important aspects of training with Barringtons is flexibility. Many of our students are simultaneously employed while studying, so it’s critical for each course to facilitate this option. That’s why we offer multiple lesson delivery avenues, including online. This allows each student to get the information they need without having to waste any time or compromise on the quality of their professional work.
