Course Overview
BSB40920 Certificate IV in Project Management Practice
Project management skills are utilised everyday across all industries and job roles.

In this qualification you will learn how to:
- Manage your time effectively
- Meticulously plan out projects and create project timelines
- Present solutions to project problems or risks
- Analyse and evaluate information from a variety of sources to inform project decisions
- Supervise others in project management, with minimal responsibility for their work output
This qualification reflects the role of individuals who apply project management skills and knowledge in a wide variety of contexts.

Primarily, these roles would support wider project operations. They may use project tools and methodologies selectively to support organisational or business activities.
