This qualification will provide the critical knowledge and skills required by those aspiring to middle management and/or executive roles which require a broader organisationwide management focus on project and program management and avoidance of project silos.

• offers a VTE sector pathway from the Bachelor Degree for specialist industry or enterprise competencies.
