Nationally Recognised Training


Diploma of Government – PSP50104

AUSTUDY APPROVED

This qualification covers the competencies required for independent and self-directed work in the public sector. There may be supervisory responsibilities rather than specialist management competencies, which are catered for in the Diploma of Government (Management). The qualification is particularly suited to those working in an environment where there is a range of responsibilities which are diverse in nature rather than within a narrow specialisation and/or they work in small or regionally based organisations.

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 (listed in Table 7), a specialist qualification may result. Requirements for specialisations are listed under the relevant Key Area.

A total of 11 units are required to achieve the award of Diploma of Government, 6 of which are mandatory core units and 5 are the candidates choice electives.
