Project Management Development

The program aims to help participants to demonstrate their role / responsibility as a project manager and / or leader of a complex project. A complex project is defined as a project which involves:

• the need for a comprehensive and multi-faceted project plan
• the need for a formal internal or external communications strategy
• a dedicated and diverse project budget
• multiple administrative components
• multiple operational components
• a wide range of stakeholders
• a project operations team

You will learn how to plan & manage project scope, time, quality, cost, human resources, information and communication, risk, integration, procurement, stakeholder engagement, governance and manage complex projects.

Australasian Leadership Academy's Diploma of Project Management is an AIPM Endorsed Course and offers pathways to RegPM Industry Certification for eligible participants.

The program combines Business Courses, Videos, Business Impact and Challenge series from Skillsoft’s eLearning content.

The program is broken into 4 Themes, each containing 1-6 modules. After you have completed the eLearning content for each module, you will be given the opportunity to apply your learning on the job.

Each month the program work gives you an easily digestible amount of information that won't overload or impact on your work life. This allows you to better retain and transfer the knowledge of each module into your workplace, as well as throughout the remainder of the program.

Additionally, participants are required to plan, implement & manage complex workplace projects, develop a Project Plan & Final Report, with mentoring sessions to be scheduled.
