What courses in Project Management does UNEP offer? What level are the courses offered?
UNE Partnerships offers three Project Management courses which give individual and effective attention to meeting project needs at all levels. They are:
- Certificate IV in Project Management (BSB41507)
- Diploma of Project Management (BSB51504)
- Advanced Diploma of Project Management (BSB60707)
Students can enter at any level, however each course is aligned to a particular role within the project lifecycle:
- Certificate IV - Project Coordinators, Project Officers or team members
- Diploma - Project Managers
- Advanced Diploma - Program Managers/Directors
Do I have to do the Certificate before the Diploma or Advanced Diploma?
Each level is a 'stand alone' course but at the same time articulates into the next level. Students can enter at any level or progress from Certificate through to Advanced Diploma via course work or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Choose the entry level appropriate to your involvement in projects.
What are the entry requirements?
Participants need to be currently working in a project environment or intending to do so, or be able to access a work-based project at the level they wish to study, and have the ability to read and comprehend relevant Australian standards, legislation and workplace manuals.
Advanced Diploma applicants should also have a sound understanding of the project management process and the opportunity to apply newly developed skills and knowledge in the workplace environment. Lack of attainment of one level does not preclude application for the next.
What are the different modes of delivery available?
Courses are available by distance education, tutorials or customised workshops. Please contact us for further information.
