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.
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.
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:
Construction manager
Contract, program and project administrators
ICT project manager
Change management leader
Project Manager
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.
