Overview

This diploma is a highly valuable, nationally recognised qualification that equips participants to co-ordinate and manage complex projects within a NSW Government and state owned corporation setting. The program is NSW Government-specific and provides participants with comprehensive and contemporary project management skills for effective project management.

 

Learning approach

This course maximises the opportunities for self-directed learning and action research to develop participants’ knowledge, skills and attributes while achieving the learning outcomes of the course.

The course encompasses a mixture of five days of face-to-face training, work-based activities, assessments and an option to demonstrate previous experience and knowledge through the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process to obtain a full diploma qualification.

 

Assessment

Assessment for the units delivered face to face is conducted through a series of projects many of which are completed during the training. The major project is conducted in the workplace and has a practical focus which enables participants to demonstrate the management skills and knowledge developed during the course. 

 

The units covered by Recognition of Prior Learning are assessed using a portfolio.
