Nationally Recognised Training


Advanced Diploma of Government - PSP60104

This specialist qualification covers the competencies required for work in the public sector which is autonomous and often non-routine. The qualification is targeted at those who enter the public sector with another qualification as well as those progressing within the sector.

It is generalist in nature to suit the requirements of working in small or regionally based organisations or where responsibilities are diverse in nature rather than that of a specialist manager, which is catered for in the Advanced Diploma of Government (Management).

Electives should reflect the responsibilities of the individual and the job skills required for effective performance.

Where a free choice of electives is possible in the qualification packaging rules, electives may also be drawn from other Training Packages to reflect the work context and career plans of the individual. Please note that if all electives are chosen from a single key area, a specialist qualification may result. Requirements for specialisations are listed under the relevant key areas.

A total of 15 units are required to achieve the award of Advanced Diploma of Government, 7 of which are mandatory core units and 8 are the candidates choice electives.
