About this program

The New Zealand Diploma in Business (Level 5) (Marketing and Sales) from Open Polytechnic is an online business qualification at academic level 5 with 120 credits. It prepares you to contribute to business operational objectives using ethical and inclusive practice. You study business operations, accounting, marketing/sales, human resources, and risk management, and you learn how to analyse internal and external environments for decision-making.

The programme teaches marketing and sales principles and processes, including the role of the business brand. You also learn to advise management on existing and emerging marketing and sales issues, use technology in marketing contexts, and communicate persuasively using buyer decision-making and negotiation with customers and prospects. Delivery is online study: you work through course materials online at a pace that suits you between the course start and end dates, with no need to travel to a campus.
