Programme in Project Management
Admission criteria
prerequisites / minimum requirements
The admission criteria are there to protect you, the applicant. The purpose is to ensure that people who enroll don’t take too high a risk of not being able to finish a course successfully.
Our project management courses are not challenging but require English language proficiency and basic numeracy to deal with some basic calculations and interpret relatively simple graphs. People with a Grade 12 qualification that includes a subject such as Accounting or Mathematics – or an equivalent qualification – should not experience any difficulty related to numeracy.
Please note that we recognize prior learning, and if you are unsure whether or not you should enroll, we require a CV that includes information about your highest school qualification – subjects taken and results per subject – all courses taken after school, and relevant work experience.

Specific Requirements for Each Course
PPM Online option
Applicants should preferably have a tertiary qualification. Applicants who do not have a degree or equivalent qualification that ensures numeracy should please provide a CV for admission purposes.
Applicants must note that studying online requires the discipline to work consistently and diligently on one’s own. People who prefer to instead participate in person, during set days in Pretoria – face-to-face with lecturers and peer groups, can consider the Weekend and Midweek options as alternatives to this online option.
PPM Weekend option
Applicants should preferably have a tertiary qualification. Applicants who do not have a degree or equivalent qualification that ensures numeracy should please provide a CV for admission purposes.
PPM Midweek option
Applicants should be able to do basic calculations and interpret basic graphs. A Grade 12 with either accounting or mathematics or an equivalent qualification is sufficient. If in doubt, please provide a CV with your application.
Short course Project Management Principles, Practices and Scheduling
While we aim to limit the risk that an applicant will not be able to finish a course successfully, we also attempt to be inclusive. This online short course earns credit towards any of the 3 alternative PPM presentation modes, and candidates who obtain good results are admitted to any of the 3 PPM alternatives. We, therefore, attempt not to exclude anyone who stands a reasonable chance of success.
English language proficiency and basic numeracy to deal with some basic calculations and interpret relatively simple graphs are, however, required. People with a Grade 12 qualification that includes a subject such as Accounting or Mathematics – or an equivalent qualification – should not experience any difficulty related to numeracy. Applicants must also note that studying online requires the discipline to work consistently and diligently on one’s own.
