Infrastructure Asset Management course*

The Centre for Pavement Engineering Education and the University of Tasmania are offering an industry specific four unit Graduate Certificate and eight unit Graduate Diploma in Infrastructure Asset Management.

Initiated by the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia (IPWEA) and jointly developed with the Centre for Pavement Engineering Education (CPEE), these courses respond to the need for a program for engineering and science graduates employed in Local Government and public works authorities in the emerging discipline of Infrastructure Asset Management.

The recent recognition of the long term lifecycle costs associated with the operation, maintenance and renewal of physical assets has created the need for skills in the management of infrastructure networks such as roads, water supply, drainage and sewerage.

State Governments have legislation requiring local authorities to create and implement asset management plans for the physical infrastructure under their control.

This will add to the demand for specialists with Infrastructure Asset Management qualifications.

These courses can be studied entirely by distance and will provide graduates with the knowledge and skills to fill senior positions in this specialist field.

Applicants for the course must hold a Bachelor degree in Engineering or Science (in an appropriate discipline) or an equivalent qualification.

An applicant holding a three year Bachelor degree will be required to have had at least three years relevant work experience.
