Graduate Certificate in Asset and Facilities Management
ObjectivesThe objectives of the course are to provide learning opportunities for advanced practice in asset management and facilities management for people with previous relevant qualifications and/or industry experience and with an interest in up-skilling and formalising their knowledge. There is a particular focus on the sustainable performance of assets and facilities and the contributions that can be made to avert the inevitable consequences of global climate change. The learning strategy uses a mix of lectures, workshops and tutorials from leading instructors and the completion of assessment tasks between or after on-campus sessions.
