Course Overview
Monarch’s Diploma of Project Management (BSB51415) gives you the skills to learn how to manage projects like a pro, and with all the best practices. Your course material is completely compatible with PMBOK (6th Edition) and ISO 21500:2016. It also refers to the principles of PRINCE2.
Project management isn’t just about cracking a whip. It’s about getting your staff, contractors and client-side stakeholders confident and ready to produce great results. As a Project Manager, your skills in planning, organisation, communication and negotiation will help your team produce something that’s more than the sum of its parts.
There’s a huge demand for qualified Project Managers across a variety of industries, and you need to be guided by an experienced project manager, like Gary Hatfield, our course writer. He’s a certified practising project director, a professional member of the Australian Institute of Project Management, and a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Getting a formal qualification in project management means learning a breadth of skills you can use no matter where your new career takes you.
