Overview

Develop the knowledge and skills to define, initiate, deliver and close a complex telecommunications project, in time, on budget, and to the highest quality specifications.

Successful projects depend on highly trained and multi-skilled project managers equipped with the ability to communicate, plan and execute strategic project decisions and manage situations that have the potential to adversely impact progress. A successful project manager can develop and maintain a structured approach to delivering project processes effectively and with repeatability and scalability.

The Certified Telecommunications Project Management (CTPM®) program equips learners with the skills and confidence to develop an end-to-end project implementation plan based on a multi-faceted campus telecommunications project.

CTPM® is based on the global standards for project management and adds technical input from programs within The Global Digital Infrastructure Education Framework. This combination delivers a unique project management education program designed specifically for the fast-paced world of telecommunications design and implementation.

Learners complete eight assignments that are assessed individually and combine to create the project management plan portfolio:

A certified CTPM® also considers the requirements for compliance, having a full understanding of national and international regulations, codes of practice and standards.

Following this program, you are encouraged to continue your professional development by advancing your knowledge and skills to gain further official certifications and qualifications by progressing through The Global Digital Infrastructure Education Framework which maps education programs to career advancement throughout the network infrastructure and data centre sectors.
