Short Course through Multimedia Distance Learning (MDL)

This course not only comprehensively covers the fundamental tools and techniques of project management, but also provides perspective on general principles of management that can be applied to most professions. The course is designed both for professional project managers and for other professionals who wish to master the essentials of management for the purpose of applying these in their particular work contexts. If organisations are successfully to move away from bureaucratic practices towards being learning organisations, it is imperative for all persons, from the CEO through to every functional team member, to have a clear understanding of essential PM principles and techniques.

The course is available to any person in any country. The general international fee for 2012 is £635.00 (this includes all materials, online support, assessments and examination, and courier to the student’s door). Persons based in Africa may generally pay the lower all-inclusive fee of R5845.00; however, a R500.00 courier surcharge may be added for certain countries. Regardless of where the student is based, the course should take around three to four months to complete. 

MDL courses can be commenced at any time. Materials are dispatched on the next available dispatch date after receipt of the tuition fee (normally within one to two weeks). 

A certificate is awarded upon successful completion of the course. The certificate states that the student has successfully completed the MDL Short Course in "Project Management". The course also serves as the first module of the Advanced Diploma learning programme, which is the first step toward the Master’s Degree in Project Management.
