Advanced Diploma of Management

GENERAL MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT

The Advanced Diploma of Management is aimed at individuals with senior or managerial responsibilities who aspire to work independently and responsibly toward organisational outcomes. They may oversee the work of others or have specialised roles where they do not supervise others but provide strategic leadership.

3CM has tackled an old idea with a new twist. It is true to its original philosophy of adopting a highly interactive project forum, with group action learning in a collaborative research and information marketplace for maximum impact and learning. The new twist is the intensive 5 day learning experience 3CM has devised, taking a 'critical aspects' approach to fit within most schedules and learning styles.

This approach brings a diverse range of topics into a coherent framework that is easily understood by students. Students then attend four half day Project Forums to work on their projects and receive feedback from a 3CM Assessor, to enable them to demonstrate competence and confidence as they progress through the programme.

The Advanced Diploma of Management requires students to competently complete three core units plus five electives.
