Presentation Notes

As may be noted, APIC aids fresh graduates and practitioners to acquire high level capabilities needed for effective performance in industry. The world is the classroom as the College uses real life projects and organisations as the site of learning. Reality is ever present in every day learning while the curriculum enshrines principles of sustainability and social responsibility. The College helps students to rediscover their core values and engender commitment to building a sustainable future. They are guided through a process to identify their strengths, set their own career goals and then plan to realise them. The College is a true home for holistic learning and transformative development. Students’ efforts are supported by unique online learning system, assessment tools and diagnostic models built on the principles of complexity management. The academic team at the College understands the real life challenges faced by managers across the globe. The team is committed to participation in fieldwork and delivery of a range of industry-based training and consulting assignments. It is a two pay process. The aim is to remain in touch with reality of management and complexities surrounding every day decision making, maintain a line of communication with those at the cold face, exchange expertise, build new knowledge and thus enrich students’ learning. The College’s suite of unique diagnostic tool and systems are hugely influenced by the findings from the fieldwork. Industry provides a realistic and challenging setting for learning the art of management. In experiential learning students learn to selectively source and apply knowledge to create new solution spaces, solve problems and synthesise new knowledge to achieve their developmental goals. As Lester (1994) states: learning is achieved through critical enquiry, reflection and creative synthesis and action; continual questioning and refinement of personal knowledge, understanding, practice, values and beliefs.

APIC uses real life projects, programs and organisations as the site of learning Learner-centred design supports individual needs

Project and team-based learning model is applied for competency development

Presentation Notes

All students are required to nominate their preferred industry streams from among the following 4 streams: Construction and infrastructure IT and services Mining, energy and processing Manufacturing and production PMGP is designed as a modular and flexible program. The focus is to develop managerial capabilities in a particular branch of industry and for this reason APIC applies a unique project-based learning approach. As seen from the above slide, PMGP permits students to enter the program at any level and to exit the program with a qualification that matches their aspirations and having an eye for their target career. The highest qualification is the MBA (Project and Program Management) but this degree suits individuals who aim for an executive role in a matrix organisation (principally a Functional Manager role that deals with projects and programs within the given function or across the whole organisation)
