Why Do This Course
Move Off The Tools
You already read a site. This adds the parts that decide a job: scope, program, cost, procurement and the contract behind all of it.
Sharpen A Job You Already Do
Running small jobs without the theory? You get the ten PMBoK knowledge areas, plus estimating and contract administration for building work.
Study Between Jobs
There are no set classes and no fixed deadlines. You study when the site lets you, and the course stays open for a generous period.
Where These Skills Could Take You
Building work needs people who can hold a program together. The work is easy to picture: sequencing trades, watching the cost line, chasing the variation before it bites, and keeping the client in the loop.
Assistant Project Manager
Site Manager
Site Foreman
Construction Foreman
Construction Project Manager
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Senior construction roles usually need years on site as well.

What Makes It Different
Three things that make this one different.
The course adds selecting and administering a construction contract, plus estimating building costs. That is the paperwork that decides a job.
The course covers the ten knowledge areas of PMBoK, the framework used on projects worldwide.
PMP certification needs years of documented project hours. Finishing this diploma is one more step toward sitting that exam.

How to Get Started
Common Questions
Do I need site experience?
It is not a formal requirement, but it is strongly recommended. One to two years of project experience makes the units land much better.
How long will it take?
Full-time takes about 12 months. Part-time takes about 15 to 17 months. You get a 24-month enrolment period, plus extension and deferral options.
What does it cost each week?
From $50 a week on a flexible plan. You can pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly. The college is a fee-for-service provider.
How does study work?
It is online and self-paced with 24/7 access. There are no scheduled classes or tutorials. Some assessments use a video call.
Will this get me PMP certification?
It moves you closer, and the skills carry straight into the exam content. PMP itself needs three to four years of experience and 4500 documented project hours. This diploma is one of the steps on that road.
What do I need at home?
A laptop or desktop with steady internet. You also need word processing and spreadsheets, a PDF reader and a camera for video calls.
Is this course accredited?
Yes. It is nationally recognised training awarded by the Australian Government. You finish with BSB50820 Diploma of Project Management, delivered by an RTO, TOID 22228.
What if I change my mind?
There is a 30-day cooling-off period. Withdraw inside it and you get a refund, less the administration fee. After that, stopping payments needs evidence of hardship.
