As more organisations adopt a dynamic approach to work, the demand for advanced project management skills increases. In particular, leaders who are well equipped are able to balance a range of considerations to achieve project goals – and broader business objectives – within time and budget constraints.

The University of Cape Town (UCT) Advanced Project Management online short course outlines and unpacks the key subjects you need to grasp to move beyond project management basics and handle increasingly complex tasks. With a firm focus on strategic skills, this course will help you align project management activities with your organisation’s overarching aims to bring about real change.

A strong practical component allows you to develop tools that you can immediately apply to address pressing challenges and improve current and future role performance. In addition, you’ll walk away with a certificate backed by UCT that verifies your new, advanced project management competencies.

This course is designed for professionals with existing project management knowledge or postgraduate experience in a relevant role who want to formalise their expertise or further build their skill set. Managers, business owners, events coordinators, and project team members will benefit by improving their ability to plan and execute high-level, large-scale projects. For those with limited time, course content is presented in manageable weekly modules, and students are assisted by an academic support team.
