Duration
Students will have three months access to the learning management system to complete the course. The course consists of 13 topics, knowledge quizzes, two hand in assignments and a final theory review.
Instructional Design
The instructional design of this course is based on a metaphoric organisational group called "Foccal". Principal office bearers in the Foccal Group provide you with input as if they were in a real organisation/company and will also help you work your way through the learning.

However, the underlying management functions can form with the PMBOK (USA), and the Australian National Competency Standards for PM.
