Project management courses. For the real world.

Project managers play a key role in nearly every industry – the launch of new products, the construction of new sites, and the development of new programs. It was once assumed that anyone could manage a project but this is not the case. Project management requires specific skills in streamlining processes, managing the work of many differently skilled people, and keeping delivery on time.

Monarch’s Diploma of Project Management is endorsed by the Australian Institute of Project Management – employers love it as they know it aligns with industry and current best practice.

Gary Hatfield
Trainer “If the pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.”
- Robert Capa

For many years, I’ve worked in IT, moving from applications to data management. I’ve created and taught IT courses and developed some on the management of IT projects. That’s when I discovered project management and soon realised that there are many people managing projects, but very few who know what they are supposed to be doing.

I believe that those who know much about managing their projects are still a minority; and if you really understand project management, you can achieve so much more in satisfying stakeholders and delivering benefits. Project management is complex and rewarding.

I am a fellow of the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) and a member and active participant in several professional associations.

What makes me jump out of bed each morning?

I need to keep learning new concepts and new ways of achieving. Oh, and I love good wine and good coffee!
