BSB50420 Diploma of Leadership and Management

BSB50820 Diploma of Project Management

Academy of Sport

Delivered in partnership with the Parramatta Eels, this course provides direct access to a professional sporting environment, giving you the opportunity to learn alongside industry practitioners rather than in a traditional classroom setting. Through guest speaker sessions, real-world project simulation and industry work experience, you will gain practical insight into how projects and operations are delivered within an elite sporting organisation.

Real-World Learning

You will develop practical capability through a hybrid delivery model that combines face-to-face sessions with structured online learning, designed to mirror how modern projects and teams operate. Learning is anchored in a simulated NRL Las Vegas campaign, where you take ownership of planning, stakeholder engagement, timelines, risk and delivery, while applying leadership principles to guide teams and drive outcomes. This approach builds the confidence to lead projects, manage competing priorities and deliver results in fast-paced, high-performance environments.
