What is ExDipPPM?
The Executive Diploma in Project and Program Management (ExDipPPM) is an executive grade qualification designed for accelerated learning or deepening of professional and executive people´s knowledge of project and program management. It aims to:

- Provide an accelerated pathway to learning project/program management fundamentals for newly appointed project managers, particularly in technology-based industries
- Provide a good grounding for specialist professionals such as design engineers, architects, scientists, lawyers, teachers, health professionals and others who routinely work in project teams but have not had any formal grounding in project management
- Assist migrant professionals or expatriates who wish to train fast for improved job prospects
- Generally impart the best practice methodologies as advocated in recognised international standards such as PMI´s PMBOK®
- Prepare individuals for PMI´s PMP® testing

Will it be relevant to you?
Are you interested or need to know more about project and program management? Do you feel your workplace performance can improve with updated knowledge of formal project and program management approaches? Do you work routinely in project teams without having a thorough understanding of how teams may perform better? Do you feel that you need project management knowledge but are so busy that you cannot afford the time and commitment needed to undertake a whole academic degree in this field? Do you like to do a course that is flexible yet structured and can count towards other qualifications or provide a pathway to undertaking future graduate studies in this field? Do you feel that current training and seminars offered by commercial providers are somewhat unstructured and too general? These are of course the sort of questions that each professional person needs to ask themselves before deciding if ExDipPPM is the right solution to their needs. If you answered yes to one or more of the above questions, ExDipPPM can probably work for you well but a lot depends on your individual circumstances. We would like to encourage you to explore the range of options that you have and then decide if this is good for you as an individual.
If you are an employer organisation and wishing to introduce a consistent training program then the ExDipPPM is probably worth evaluating. The reason is that it has been designed to cover the breadth of the project management field and give an introduction to program management as well. So by choosing ExDipPPM you will be aligning the knowledge of your key staff in this field and introducing a consistent methodology throughout the organisation. It is also possible to customise the ExDipPPM contents to better reflect individual employers´ needs and requirements.
