The Professional Diploma in Project Management programme builds on the IPA Certificate in Project Management. It covers additional critical skills areas, including procurement, resource management, quality management, and managing multiple projects.
It also addresses methodologies, frameworks (including PRINCE 2, Agile and the PMIBOK) and technologies designed to support the project manager.
The programme has been designed to help students working as project managers and/or members of a project team within a public sector context. While employing the body of knowledge of the profession, the course is highly tailored to address the unique issues and challenges faced by public sector project managers and team members.
