Certificate IV in Project Management

Certificate IV in Project Management Workshop

The program concentrates on helping participants gain a sound understanding of the project management process and provides them with practical advice on using this knowledge to effectively manage their projects.

During the program, software based project management tools are explored and utilised as one of a number of options available to help participants plan and manage their projects. The program is workshop based and is designed to be extremely intensive.

The workshop focuses on the development of the key elements of a project plan. Participants form small groups and nominate a project to plan during the workshop. Key planning templates are explained and groups practice their compilation with their nominated project.

This course has two parts: a three-day face-to-face training component and an on-the-job practical component. Participants must complete both parts to gain their qualificiations. The face-to-face component of the Certificate IV and the Diploma courses is identical, however participants will be assessed at different levels for the two qualifications.

The workshop is also a great opportunity for project teams to start up a project whilst learning the techniques and gaining expert advice on outlining their project plan. The workshop also covers a basic introduction to Microsoft Project.

This qualification reflects the role of individuals who use well-developed skills and a broad knowledge base
in a wide variety of contexts. They apply solutions to a defined range of unpredictable problems, and analyse
and evaluate information from a variety of sources. They may provide leadership and guidance to others
with some limited responsibility for the output of others. Possible job titles relevant to this qualification
include:
Project Coordinator | Project Officer | Project Team Member | Program Administrator

Project Management is a mainstay of modern organisations across all industry sectors having evolved from its traditional roots in the construction, IT and heavy engineering industries. Project Management through its association with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) standards, provides a global framework in which all project managers have a common understanding of the terminology used and the methodologies employed.

The boom in the resources sector in Australia over the last few years has created an unprecedented demand for Project Managers from entry level through to program and portfolio Project Managers. In recognising this trend and the demand for varied skills, AIM has created a range of programs and qualifications. Participants can complete a Certificate IV, Diploma or Advanced Diploma of Project Management.

AIM has also provided flexibility in the delivery mode of the Certificate IV and Diploma of Project Management, giving participants the choice of completing these qualifications in intensive mode or in greater depth over a longer period.

The Certificate IV in Project Management is a competency-based award at Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF 2007) Level 4. Competencies at the Certificate IV level describe the capabilities of a project team member who usually works with other team members under the direction of a project manager.

The added value of this course is that the evidence required demonstrating competency is assessed during the course, thus speeding the attainment of the qualification.
Delegates will receive a Statement of Attainment for each unit of competency for which he/she is judged to be competent.? When the delegate is judged to be competent in all eight units of competency, the Certificate IV in Project Management will be issued.
