The program has been offered by the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) since 1991 to employees of the public sector, and delivered nationally by QUT since 2015.
The Graduate Certificate in Business (Public Sector Management) is an employer-sponsored program designed specifically for mid-level managers from across all tiers of government and the NGO sector. Graduates of the program are eligible for credit (advanced standing) into further postgraduate programs, including our Master of Business Administration (MBA) or the Master of Business.
