Endorsed Workshops

The following workshops have been reviewed by the Australian Institute of Project Management and endorsed as having:

"... met the requirements set by the Australian Institute of Project Management for the provision of a course in project management."

• Project Management: Essential Techniques
• Project Management: Advanced Techniques
• Project Management: Masterclass

So What Does It All Mean:

For the workshop

The Australian Institute of Project Management does not conduct courses in project management. The AIPM has instead, adopted a policy of endorsing courses in project management that meet its criteria for endorsement. Their objectives are to:

1. maintain a register of endorsed courses in project management which is a reliable reference for those wishing to undertake training in project management;

2. assist members in making an informed choice regarding their professional development;

3. support the maintenance of professional standards for project management consistent with the AIPM's charter;

4. encourage training providers to embrace recognised best practice in project management by providing professional development activities which are aligned with the National Competency Standards for Project Management (NCSPM) and the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK).

Review the criteria for endorsement and what it means by visiting the following pages on the AIPM site:

For You

You can be assured that the content of the workshop covers those elements of project management required for you to meet the National Competency Standard For Project Management.

About Competencies

Competencies (also known as unit of competency, units, competency units and sometimes standards) describe the skills and knowledge that is expected to be applied for a person to operate effectively in the workplace. The emphasis is on outcomes: what people are able to do and also with the ability to do this in a range of contexts.

The units have been defined by industry, are nationally recognised and form the basis of training for that specific industry.
