Companies are increasingly turning into project-based organisations. Projects allow businesses to get tasks done in the most efficient, effective and affordable way, but being a good project manager takes skill and knowledge.

The University of Cape Town Project Administration course is ideal for anybody who regularly deals with project-based tasks in business – secretaries, personal assistants, departmental managers, event coordinators and others – and for those who want to learn how to implement projects to streamline their work, such as entrepreneurs, managers, supervisors and small-business owners.

GetSmarter’s advanced and user-friendly learning model provides students with a personal and professional educational experience.

Each of the 10 modules includes course notes, discussion forums where students interact with one another, an interactive quiz and video lectures to make the course material more engaging.
