Microcredentials in project management

Project management essentials

Effective project management is key for achieving successful project outcomes. These two microcredentials offer a solid foundation in project management, focusing on both core principles and practical application. You will gain essential knowledge and expertise in managing and delivering projects of various scales and complexities, while learning vital skills in communication, people management and stakeholder engagement. Additionally, you will develop critical competencies in project scoping, initiation and execution.

The two microcredentials you will explore are:

  • UNMC125 - Project Management Fundamentals
  • UNMC126 - Applied Project Management

The units are designed to meet modern standards in project management. Upon completion of these two microcredentials, you may be eligible to apply the earned credits towards further studies, such as the Diploma in Business, or seek approval from the course coordinator to apply to other undergraduate programs.

The units are offered at our Brisbane Campus and Townsville Leadership Centre. They are designed to be flexible, accommodating ADF students and their families to pursue higher education.

Fast-track your career

Fast-track your career with project management microcredentials. Practical, industry-focused training for Australian Defence Force personnel and their families. Designed to be completed faster than traditional qualifications, microcredentials allow you to upskill efficiently in areas relevant to your career goals. These microcredentials position you to succeed in high-growth sectors like information technology (IT), construction, healthcare and finance.

Designed for ADF members transitioning to civilian careers, these microcredentials provide practical, real-world training delivered by industry practitioners.
