Overview
Effective project management skills are essential for achieving successful project outcomes. This sequence of two microcredentials offer a solid foundation in project management, focusing on both core principals and practical application.

Additionally, you will develop critical competencies in project scoping, initiation and execution.
The two microcredentials you will explore are:

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.
