BSB60720 Advanced Diploma of Program Management

The Advanced Diploma of Program Management is highly regarded as the industry standard in the recognition of those who have demonstrated the ability to work effectively within a project environment at a senior level. Upon successful completion of the 12 units, participants will be awarded the Advanced Diploma of Program Management (BSB60720). Participants will undertake learning to sharpen their skills as well as the opportunity to apply project management concepts to work-based situations. 

This qualification reflects the role of individuals who apply specialised knowledge and skills, together with experience in program management across a range of enterprise and industry contexts. The job roles that relate to this qualification include Program Manager. Individuals in these roles are responsible for managing or directing a program to achieve organisational objectives. A program is defined as a set of interrelated projects, each of which has a project manager.

Individuals at this level use initiative and judgement to direct, plan, and lead a range of program functions, with accountability for personal and team outcomes within broad parameters. They use cognitive and communication skills to identify, analyse and synthesise information from a variety of sources and transfer their knowledge to others, and creative or conceptual skills to express ideas and perspectives or respond to complex problems.

RPL for the Advanced Diploma of Program Management

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.
