How each level works: a short video lesson every week, a chapter in the learner guide, a template to complete and a task that builds your portfolio. Each level uses a main case-study project and a second, different project, so you practise every skill twice. AIPM and PMI award their own certifications based on your experience and their own assessment. OneAcademy prepares you for them; it does not award them.

- You have just stepped into a project role on the owner's side and need to understand procurement, contracts and governance quickly.
- Moving from industry into government
- You have delivered projects for contractors or consultants. Now you sit on the other side of the table, and the rules are different.
- Professionals new to Australia

Nikolai Pustynnikov
Director, Onecompany · Master of Global Project Management
I manage government capital works projects from the client side of the table: writing business cases, running procurements, managing contractors and reporting to executives.
Most of what makes a government project succeed is never written down in a textbook. It is learned the hard way, one project at a time. The Academy is my way of shortening that path for the next generation of public sector project managers.
Enquire to enrolBefore you sign up.
Is this an accredited qualification?
No. Onecompany Academy courses are professional development, not nationally recognised training. Each course you complete earns a Certificate of Completion. Many professional bodies accept structured learning like this toward continuing professional development hours, so check with yours.
How do I enrol, and what does it cost?
Each level costs A$1,000, with a minimum enrolment of three levels (A$3,000). All six levels cost A$4,500. Send an enquiry using the form below and our team replies within two business days with your recommended starting level, the next intake date and how to pay. Agencies and councils can request a formal quote.
Which level should I start with?
New to projects, or with experience only from another country: start at Level 1. Already working as an administrator or coordinator: Level 2 or 3. An experienced project manager: Level 4. Leading several projects: Level 5. We confirm the right level in a free entry interview before you pay. Levels 5 and 6 always need an entry interview.
When do the levels start?
Levels 1 to 3 are enrolling now for 2027 intakes. Levels 4 to 6 open later; register your interest and we will contact you first, at the price shown today.
Do I need government experience?
No. Level 1 assumes no public sector background. If you already work on projects, the entry interview places you at the level that matches your experience.
Can my agency pay for it?
Yes. We can invoice your agency or council directly for individual places, team licences or in-house workshops. Get in touch and we will provide a quote.
Are the examples from real projects?
The lessons draw on real delivery experience. All examples are generalised and de-identified. No confidential agency or client information is used.
