To attain the Advanced Diploma of Program Management through RPL is a 3-step process:
- Step 1 – Suitability assessment: Scope reviews your resume/experience summary to determine if RPL is appropriate.
- Step 2 – Evidence gathering: You work with Scope to show your experience and knowledge meet the requirements of the Advanced Diploma. Evidence types include Project Charters, Project Briefs, Scope of Works, Requests for Quote, meeting minutes from project start-up meetings, and other project documentation.
- Step 3 – Award of qualification upon successful assessment.
Note: If you have never worked in a project or managed a project, RPL would not be an appropriate pathway. In that case, online enrolment is the recommended route.
