Upskilling online with CQU in project management

Kylie Ciocca’s decision to study the online Graduate Certificate in Project Management with CQUniversity gave her the flexibility to work full time and fit studies around her life.

“Online learning was important for me. I was able to do it at my own pace and structure my life around my work which really helped me progress through the course in my own way and I was able to do really well,” she explained.

“I was looking for something that would combine the practical and theoretical skills I needed to help with my role. The graduate certificate helped me learn some of the software skills needed, but also combined theoretical elements, in particular governance which I knew would also help with my role in my career.”

As an online student, Kylie said the support she received from the start of her learning experience to the end was very encouraging.

“The support networks at CQUniversity are excellent. Not only are the teaching staff great, but they’re also helpful and always available if you have questions or want to check your understanding on things. There are also other support networks that I took advantage of as well such as the student engagement team.”

CQUniversity offers a range of project management courses, from certificates and diplomas through to postgraduate and masters level study options. To find out more about any of these courses visit cqu.edu.au/courses/project-management Applications are now open for Term 2, 2022 to commence in July.
