Course Overview
The Diploma of Project Management is designed to provide best practice project management skills and knowledge to practicing project managers. Project managers must have sound theoretical knowledge and use a range of specialised, technical and managerial competencies to plan, carry out and evaluate the work of a team.
The course provides participants with the sound theoretical and practical knowledge of project management principles and processes and the application of tools, techniques and methods crucial to a successful project. Participants will gain a sound understanding of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) that underpins AS ISO 10006:2004, and a basic introduction to PRrojects IN a Controlled Environment (PRINCE2™).
The workshop fulfils the requirements for BSB51407 Diploma of Project Management (AQF Level 5).
