Project management skills are in demand across many industries, and this professional development course will give you the confidence to lead and manage a project from inception to completion effectively.

The Advanced Certificate of Project Management will train you in all aspects of project management, covering costs, communications and human resources, project scope, project risk and integration to project quality management.

In this project management course, you will learn how to create a budget, and to use this budget as the principal mechanism to control project cost. You will discover how to plan for human resources, implement personnel training and development, and manage the project team.

Finally, you will learn how to integrate and balance the overall project management functions of scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communications, risk and procurement across the project life cycle; and to align and track the project objectives to comply with organisational goals and strategies.

On completion of the course you will feel confident to apply the fundamentals of project management to deliver outcomes within time, cost and quality restraints and to identify factors that most impact a project’s success.

This course includes elective or customised units.
Our team will be in touch shortly after enrolment to confirm your unit choices.
