Course overview

As the complexity of our systems of work and delivery increase now and into the future, project management skills have become essential for life and work for most professionals — not just traditional project managers.

Our Project Management for Professionals course will provide you with effective skills to motivate, communicate, and deliver business outcomes in any complex situation. Through this course, you’ll adopt a toolbox of skills that can be mixed and matched to suit a variety of contexts.

With a focus on adaptive and human skills, you’ll learn how to successfully initiate and mobilise a project team. Importantly, you’ll gain capabilities in negotiation and stakeholder communication to deliver optimal outcomes, as well as how to apply the fundamentals of scope, risk, budget, quality and time management to your own projects.

Who's It For?

  • Early and mid-career professionals in all business functions looking to gain transferable project management skills required to be seconded or developed to manage projects as part of their role.
  • Early career business professionals looking to develop the skills in project management fundamentals required to transition into a project support role. You may be from a variety of industries and backgrounds in a range of different company sizes, including but not limited to government, education, support, or administration.

What you'll learn

With the opportunity to bring your own project, you can directly apply your skillset into a final professional or personal project that will showcase your knowledge to potential and existing employers. In the context of a current-day complex environment, this course delivers people skills plus technical capability.
