INTENDED AUDIENCE
This PROJECT MANAGEMENT COURSE IS DESIGNED FOR LESS EXPERIENCED
PROJECT MANAGERS AND TEAM MEMBERS WITH SOME LIMITED HANDS ON
EXPERIENCE WHO WISH TO LEARN MORE ABOUT PROJECT MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES
AND UNDERSTAND CURRENT BEST PRACTICES, without excessive theory. It
particularly suits participants who manage PROJECTS ON A PART TIME OR
OCCASIONAL BASIS, and where PROJECTS ARE LESS COMPLEX, primarily
affecting single departments or a smaller number of stakeholder groups
over a shorter time frame, eg, six months' duration or less. For those
who manage PROJECTS OR SUPPORT PROJECT MANAGERS ON A REGULAR BASIS,
and where PROJECTS ARE COMPLEX, affecting multiple departments or a
medium to large number of stakeholder groups, we recommend Project
Management Course: The Complete Guide
[https://sydney.newcastle.edu.au/course/PMCG].
It provides all of the underlying PROJECT MANAGEMENT KNOWLEDGE
REQUIRED TO PURSUE A BSB51415 Diploma of Project Management
[https://training.gov.au/Training/Details/BSB51415] via Recognition of
Prior Learning, although it does not in itself lead to that award.
DELIVERY STYLE
This project management course will be delivered as an interactive
workshop consisting of an instructor-led lecture, group and individual
activities. This training approach allows participants to work through
concepts introduced by the trainer in an application-focused teaching
environment. Participants will challenge their understanding of the
concepts and consider their application once back in their individual
workplace.
