Time investment

The amount of effort and time required for this qualification is based upon your existing skills and experience (find out more on how competency based learning works). It is suggested that the course take approximately 500 hours of learning. However we find that due to our learner profile and the methods by which our programs are structured this is rarely the case. As a guide:

Little to no previous experience

200-500 hours
6 months or less experience in a project environment

50-300 hours
6 Months to 2 years experience in a project environment

20-100 hours
2 years plus experience in a project environment

30 minutes (through RPL) to 50 hours

We provide students with the ability to complete the Certificate IV Project Management Practice over a one year period; however we find that the average time is between 3 to 6 months. During that time there is a large variance in the amount of time each student spends working on the qualification. Please contact our staff if you would like an estimate based upon your individual situation

  Hi Vanessa,
  
  Unsure who your friend was, but yes it can easily be completed within a couple of weeks. As the assessments are practical those with existing project management experience are normally able to submit their work documents to assist in the completion. Most of our students are actually working in Project Management and as a result find that they have in many cases already completed a vast majority of the assessment requirements. Everyone is different though and as a guide you can use the “how long will it take me to complete” section on the website for each qualification. I can also put you in touch with a consultant if you like who can look at your current evidence and give you an indication of what additional work load there may be.
  
  Kind Regards

Hi there,

I have no project management experience and do have access to a workplace but not in a project management capacity. However, I would like to get into project management in the future, would I be able to do this course?

Thanks!

  Hi Dylan,
  Certificate IV is a great entry-level of study into a new career progression. No previous experience is required and the assessments are based more on theoretical projects rather than work-related projects.
  I have sent you an email separately with more details about this.
  Have a great day!
