Student profiles
Simon Squire – ICT Infrastructure Project Manager
“I have worked in the ICT industry for the majority of my career and have held various service delivery roles across a range of different companies.
I found that as I advanced in my career, I ended up being responsible for the delivery of large projects.
I received a great deal of satisfaction after successfully delivering these projects and decided to pursue Project Management as a career.
I researched a number of training institutions and found Swinburne’s Graduate Certificate of Business (Project Management) to be the best fit for me.
The course was conducted by lecturers with real-world experience. They were able to provide a non-industry specific approach to project management and I was able to apply this approach to the projects I manage in my work place.
I would recommend this course to anybody wanting to build on previous qualifications or to enhance their industry experience.”
David Reilly
"I found the course content to be interesting and relevant – great mix of personal learning and growth of my communicational skills.
Peter Pearce's teaching methods were astute whilst pushing me to ask questions and be involved at all times, enhancing the quality of my experience and learning outcome.
Jim Burrows was a great guide and mentor throughout my work on the course, always available and always offering the right advice to further my understanding of the course material."
Donna Stevenson, ANZ
"Swinburne’s Graduate Certificate of Business Management (Project Management) was truly invigorating.
It provided me with the skills and confidence to bring sound and practical project management to my role in one of Australia’s major banks.
It was hard to ignore the breadth of knowledge and industry based experience each of the lecturers provided to all students.
Lecturers were clearly dedicated and interested in each student and the whole Swinburne team was outstanding.”
Kelli Gattrell
“I was attracted to Swinburne by their practical courses and reputation for producing work-ready professionals.
Throughout my studies, I have been intellectually stretched and have been able to further develop my leadership skills and the ability to make strong data driven decisions.
The greatest skill I took away from the course was the ability to develop evidence-based strategies and communicate effectively.
Undertaking the course was definitely a career defining moment for me - I was approached by several companies before finishing the course, which resulted in me in securing a senior consulting role with a leading Australian organisation.”
