Advanced Diploma in Program Management

The BSB60720 Advanced Diploma of Program Management is designed for individuals who want to build on project management skills and step into leadership of programs, managing and coordinating multiple related projects to achieve strategic outcomes.

This nationally recognised qualification equips you with specialist skills to oversee program governance, benefits management, stakeholder engagement, and program execution, while applying initiative and judgment in complex enterprise environments.

Whether you have project or program experience already, or you are seeking to transition into program leadership, this qualification prepares you to take on broader responsibility and collaborate effectively across stakeholders and organisational levels.

We can deliver this program with you and your organisation through one of two pathways, giving you flexibility to meet your needs and goals.

  1. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) If you already have experience working in a project environment, you may be able to complete your qualification through RPL. You will compile an evidence portfolio supported by structured assessment activities. Our secure online Learning Management System (LMS) will guide you step by step, and you will have access to optional coaching sessions via Microsoft Teams for personalised guidance and feedback.
  2. Self-Paced eLearning Our self-paced eLearning allows you to study when it suits you best. You will work through interactive online modules and assessments at your own pace, with the option to access personalised coaching sessions via Microsoft Teams for additional support whenever you need it.

Graduates of our Working Smart with Microsoft Project and Project Planning Breakthroughs courses can also earn Professional Development Units (PDUs).
These PDUs can be applied toward the continuing certification requirements (CCR) for maintaining PMI credentials.

"As a school Principal, I greatly value practical training that delivers immediate and measurable improvements in productivity. The "Working Sm@rt with Microsoft Outlook" workshop facilitated by Priority Management exceeded all expectations."

-Kylie Fabri, Principal - Muswellbrook High School - 11/12/2024

“I recently had the privilege of taking a refresher course on Microsoft Outlook, and it was nothing short of transformative. It was a wake-up call for me, realizing that I had been using Outlook for years, yet there was so much more to learn and exploit.”

-Wayne Lear, Familia Wealth - 06/02/2024

“It changed my life really. I felt like I’d been baptized at the end- I really felt so much lighter and freer! I’m in control of my life, actually I can, I can work the way I want to work.”

-Carla, Department of Education

“Enjoyed the session and got a few great tips and better ideas on managing emails and tasks thanks so much.”

-Paula Coleman, Planning Manager, Medline - 17/01/2023

“Working with Priority Management as an organisation, [I’ve learned] that it’s not actually about the computer programs. It’s about the way in which you use those to work together.”

-Roslynd, Department of Education

“Went into the course thinking I would learn a few tips on using MO more efficiently, came out with a breakthrough on how I could be the high performer I want to be and still have a life.”

-Amarette Petersen, Territory Manager, Leica - 20/01/2023

“They’re always there to support you and they’ve even made the Most staunchly paper driven people challenge what they do and find a way to be paper light, if not paper gone.”

-Kathyrn, Whitley Corporation

“Outlook to me was just a repository for emails, but now it is transformed into a powerful automated planning tool. Thank you Mary! I also like how you consider typography when setting up the layout and solution.”

-Jianyang Sun, The University of Sydney - 28/06/2023

Such a great course. Thoroughly enjoyed the training and learned so many new things that I know will benefit both myself and the organisation.”

-Bev Clarke, Defence - 18/01/2023

“I had no idea of how much I didn’t know. This is a game changer for efficiency and organisation.”

-Melanie Baker, TMR - 13/12/2022

“The Australian Chamber Orchestra has engaged Priority for 15 years to conduct Outlook training, which is considered an important component of our induction process to assist with productivity. It’s always a pleasure to liaise with Priority Management. As a participant, I found the online workshop to be informative, educational, fun, and engaging.”

-Claire Diment, Australian Chamber Orchestra - 12/04/2023

“Thanks for putting on such amazing training sessions for our employees over the past 2 weeks, we have had incredible feedback about how valuable they found the Outlook training and how great a facilitator Dani is. One employee reached out saying it was the best training she has ever done, which is a testament to how good the content and facilitators are!”

-Sara Learmonth, L'Oréal - 11/05/23

“Mary was very knowledgeable on the material and able to answer any queries quickly and effectively, there are many strategies that I took from the training that will allow me to build on previous knowledge and be more effective working within Outlook.”

-Thomas Davies, The University of Sydney - 28/06/2023

“A HUGE thank you for the OneNote training that I completed. Having completed courses previously, I was expecting similar basic content and a struggle to say engaged. I was pleasantly surprised by Marys knowledge and ability to engage all attendees from beginners through to more advanced users, covering a range of skills, including more advanced use scenarios. I learnt a lot and have already applied many of the skills that I learnt.”

-Kathleen Donohue - 21/07/2023

"But also the programs were fabulous because they are really practical. It’s not just here’s how you use it. It’s really about how you embed it into your everyday work life which is what I like about it."

-Danielle, Elserver

"Thank you Jackie so much again for putting together such an insightful presentation. As I mentioned, the feedback so far has been really positive and a few people I have spoken to in the office today have already made some tweaks to their default settings. Your presentation skills were some of the best I’ve seen, and I was impressed with how you were able to navigate between screens despite the technical challenges. Thank you again!"

-Henry Drummond, The Law Society of NSW - 28/07/2023
