Course Summary
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.
Project management is different from other career paths. It’s something that can take you to any number of different industries. The skills you’ll pick up through your Diploma can be used in a variety of different roles, including:
Project Manager
Project Coordinator
Project Officer
Project Team Leader
Program Manager
Organisational Change Manager
across industries including but not limited to:
Government/public sector
Information technology (IT)
Construction and infrastructure
Event management
Business improvement/transformation
Retail, supply chain, logistics
To specialise in a particular type of project management, you may need to complete further training. The Diploma of Project Management from Monarch Institute will give you a solid foundation for pursuing the next step in your education.
This course is designed to be completed within 12-24 months. You’re expected to complete at least one module every six months.
There is no minimum timeframe to complete this course. Students who are highly motivated and well organised can complete the full course at an accelerated pace.
The key factors that influence course completion are a student’s experience, time availability, how fast they work and how committed they are!
