TIME-SAVING SOLUTION
The course can take just less than 12 weeks to complete, depending on when you submit the assessments leading to a nationally recognised qualification.
Another time-saving benefit is that these assessments all relate to your business. It’s a way of addressing aspects of business growth you might otherwise neglect – that’s why the quiz and spreadsheets include topics such as:
- communicating value propositions
- business modelling
- entrepreneurial thinking and practices
- commercialisation process
- funding options
- customers and competitors
- revenue and cash flow projections
- planning tools
- branding and marketing
- prioritising resource and effort allocation
- time and stress management
- compliance and regulatory matters
You get to focus on these aspects of your own business while you’re learning, while you’re working towards your nationally accredited qualification.

Here’s what some of our graduates have said about this course:
The Ideas to Outcomes program was excellent and just what I needed. It was tailored at the right level and the delivery was flexible which meant I was able to easily fit the tasks and workshops within my schedule. – Dr Kylie Hewson, Director, Sativus
Fantastic course for big thinkers. This course highlights the importance of data and creative thinking when exploring new business ideas. The accelerated format keeps active minds engaged and gets to the point. – Justin Loccisano, Founder, Paragon Group
I gained huge insight into the areas of my business that I had been subconsciously sabotaging through poor practice. I now feel a lot more confident about my business foundations… And for the first time ever, I have not just spoken my financial goals, but put real numbers on paper that will inform an action based-strategy to reach those goals. And that’s quite an empowering thing! – Emily Beutel, Founder, Emily Beutel Wddings & Events
This program has provided me a pathway to transition my career from technical to business development and business management. The content is well tailored and delivered in flexible formats (online and face-to-face). I highly recommend this program. – Dr Sasikaran Kandasamy, Vaxxas Pty Ltd
Really useful program. Structured to meet busy lifestyle of a start up founder. Practical tools and excellent mentoring with essential, individualised advice. Great support. – Chelsea Baker, FIA Corporation Pty Ltd
This program provides the tools and knowledge necessary to take your ideas and do what is necessary to asses them and turn them into something tangible. We all have ideas, but not necessarily the tools needed to get to the next level. It has better prepared me for things I need to do to give my ideas a go. It gives you the opportunity to ‘sanity-check’ some of the stuff that you want to do, putting a bit more structure and rigor around your ideas so you can view them through a more objective looking glass. – Chris Keegan, Entrepreneur
The Ideas to Outcomes program helped me focus on critical elements of my startup. It was good to get some of the gaps in my knowledge filled at the group workshops, and the action planning assessment meant that I got stuff done that I had been putting aside (for way too long)! Completing this program means gaining a nationally accredited business qualification and that’s really helpful to me for assuring investors and my target audiences that I am skilled, educated and capable of running and growing an innovative enterprise ready to scale across the world. If you’re thinking about enrolling in this course, I’d recommend checking it out and say “do it!”. – Anne-Marie Walton, CEO & Founder, KidswantU
The course helped me gain clarity and refine my business model to be able to bootstrap my company rather than seek investment. This has been a critical way forward, given the difficulties of procuring investment in the current climate. – Stephen Taylor, CEO, Pulsar Aerospace
It’s opened my eyes to what you have to think about and do if you want to turn an innovative concept into a viable venture. It’s challenged me to really look at who my customer is and how to reach them, especially when you’re offering something new to the market that no one else is doing. – Robyn Lawton, Founder, Artisan Escapes
Completing the Cert IV in Small Business Management through the Impact Innovation Group and TAFE Qld* gave me the knowledge and confidence that I required to move forward with my small business development. I found the face to face sessions really valuable and I acquired many skills to help in both the short term and long term. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to develop their skills in small business management. – Melissa Mitchell, Co-founder, Swap Kids Stuff
