Top of pagePurpose of the Program
This qualification reflects the role of individuals who identify and apply project management skills and knowledge in a wide variety of contexts. They may be members of a project team but with no direct responsibility for the overall project outcomes. They support project operations in one or more roles and under direction may also use project tools and methodologies selectively to support organisational or business activities. They take responsibility for their own outputs in terms of organisational and project quality requirements, and may have limited responsibility for the output of others.
This program is designed to attract a cohort of learners who have a reasonable amount of life/work experience, who are capable of taking some responsibility for their own learning.
The program has also been designed to enable greater flexibility in how and when people choose to learn by fewer but more intensive face-to-face group sessions and more structured self-paced learning activities offered online where participants are encouraged to practice and apply key concepts, undertake research to build their knowledge and content, investigate their own workplaces where possible and undertake assessment projects that meet both the requirements of the program as well as being of potential benefit to their own organisations.
Anticipated student cohorts include:
- Current workers wanting to up skill;
- Individuals returning to the workforce who want /need to up skill;
- School leavers who are interested in pursuing a foundational project management qualification; and
- Individuals who maybe undertaking other vocational or professional studies (eg engineering, nursing, marketing, construction, architecture, arts) that require project management as part of their skill set.

Top of pageExternal accreditation and industry links
The development of the program structure and the choice of units appropriate to the sector were informed by the knowledge areas within the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), a leading project management methodology and through consultation with RMIT educators.
Teachers maintain close contact with industry through various professional development activities.
Teachers regularly engage guest speakers for the program. All learners participate in classes where they are assisted to make connections between theoretical concepts and the workplace. In some cases this is their own workplace. Mentoring and coaching by the facilitator in order to assist learners to make this connection is a major design feature of this program.
