PM Academy has developed an Project Management

professional and educational needs of our national and

The primary purpose of this qualification is to equip learners

focused diploma on theoretical and practical applications of
project management. This programme is relevant to all
industries and appropriate for Project Managers throughout
Africa.

delivered through 4 classroom lectures of 1 week each.
The programme employs a diversity of teaching and learning
methods including:

 Assignments (Group and Individual)
 Workplace Integrated Learning
To enhance the learning experience, formative assessments
consisting of Individual and Group assignments will be required

and examinations will be conducted.
To ensure Work Integrated Learning and the practical application
of best practices learned, students will be expected to submit a
Project Portfolio on a project they delivered from
conceptualization to closure.

6. Programme Management
At PM Academy we believe that assessing the maturity of your project is the first step
in improving the infrastructure surrounding project management in your organisation.
Project Management Maturity Assessments (PMMA) are based on the OPM3® or
P3M3® International Best Practices Framework that provides in depth statistical
measurement of Portfolio, Project & Programme Management Practices within an
organisation. Benefits of conducting a Project Management Maturity Assessment with
PM Academy:
 Independently assess process maturity for Portfolio, Programme & Project
Management
 Benchmark best practices & maturity levels against international & local companies
 Develop a roadmap for continuously improving the maturity levels in your
organisation
 Assistance with the development & implementation of Project Management best
practices
 Continual maturity assessments to compare progress made

7. OPM3® Project Management Maturity Model
Organisations can now benefit from achieving Organisational Project Management
Maturity. Developed under the stewardship of PMI, OPM3® is an acronym for
the Organisational Project Management Maturity Model (PMMM) & has established
itself as a flagship management tool in driving up standards & capability in Portfolio,
Project & Programme Managemen & in improving performance & quality.

8. The Project Management Institute’s OPM3® Standard emphasises the value of
Organisational Project Management in the delivery of Organisational
Strategies. The OPM3® Standard is aligned with the new PMBOK® Guide 4th Edition &
the updated Program & Portfolio Management Standards (2nd Edition).
