Project management courses. For the real world.

Project managers play a key role in nearly every industry – the launch of new products, the construction of new sites, and the development of new programs. It was once assumed that anyone could manage a project but this is not the case. Project management requires specific skills in streamlining processes, managing the work of many differently skilled people, and keeping delivery on time.

Monarch’s Diploma of Project Management is endorsed by the Australian Institute of Project Management – employers love it as they know it aligns with industry and current best practice.
