CQUniversity Australia and educational industry leaders had reason to celebrate recently with the launch of the new Graduate Diploma of Learning Management (Executive Leadership) available through CQUniversity, starting this July.

The Graduate Diploma of Learning Management (Executive Leadership) was officially launched last month at a ceremony to thank and acknowledge industry partners who assisted in developing this innovative program.

The program aims to meet the needs of employers who are seeking a new set of competencies in the areas of leadership and teamwork.

This specialisation builds upon existing knowledge, experience and qualifications to enable managers and leaders to appreciate the diversity of contexts in which their skills can be applied.

"This program is based on 3 project-based courses via online learning.  The structure is practically oriented which enables students to tailor their projects to the workplace," said Robyn Smith, CQUniversity Program Coordinator.

"The fundamental premise of offering this format is to allow students flexibility, where they can complete their study in a time and place of their choice and the topics will directly contribute to their work and assessment are relevant to their industry."

At the completion of the program, students may continue their professional journey and undertake a further 3 courses to attain a Master of Learning Management (Executive Leadership).
