What are the best project management courses and how do I choose one?

The best project management course for you depends on what your career goals are and what your existing level of experience is within this space.

If you're at the start of your career journey or are looking to pivot to project management from an entirely different kind of role, you'll need to start with entry-level and fundamentals courses like the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification or the AgilePM® Foundation.
If you're already a project management professional looking to upskill or develop your career, you'd benefit from a more advanced course such as the PMI Project Management Professional (PMP), which requires you to have several hours of training and experience.

These are just examples of the courses you could take at different levels. Take a look at our full project management course listings below to start exploring your options.

Should I do a Scrum, AgilePM, or Change Management course?

When exploring project management, you’ll often hear about Scrum, AgilePM, and change management. While they all fall under the wider umbrella of project delivery, each focuses on a slightly different skill set — and the right certification depends on where you’d like your career to grow.

AgilePM

A broad project management methodology based on the Agile principles of adaptability, collaboration, and incremental progress to deliver projects on budget and to deadline.
Suitable across industries — not just tech — and often valued in digital transformation projects.
Popular certifications: AgilePM Foundation & AgilePM Practitioner.

Scrum

A framework within agile project management, widely used in tech, product development, and IT.
Focuses on iterative delivery, teamwork, and defined roles such as Scrum Master or Product Owner.
Popular certification: ABC Scrum Master

Change Management

Centres on the people side of projects — how to manage transitions in a business, minimise resistance, and ensure teams adopt new systems or processes.
In demand in organisations undergoing large-scale restructuring, system upgrades, or cultural shifts.
Popular certification: APMG Change Management Foundation or Change Management Practitioner

Summary: should you get a Scrum, AgilePM, or Change Management Certification?

If you’re aiming for flexibility across multiple industries: AgilePM is ideal.
If you want to work closely with development teams: start with ABC Scrum Master.
If you’re drawn to stakeholder engagement and people-focused roles: consider Change Management certifications.

Project Management Courses FAQs

What is the best course for project management?

This depends on your level of experience in project management as well as your career goals. If you're just starting your career, or you're changing career from another type of role, then you need to look for an entry-level course with no formal pre-requisites such as the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification. If you're an established project management professional looking to upskill, you'll need a more advanced course that will help you learn the new skills you need. For example, the PMI Project Management Professional (PMP) course requires you to have a certain amount of prior experience and will help you learn skills in conflict management, leadership, and stakeholder management, among other things.

What qualifications do I need for project management?

This depends on the course. Some project management courses, such as the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification or the AgilePM® Foundation, have no formal prerequisites so are good for beginners in project management. Some courses do require you to have prior experience. The AgilePM® Practitioner course, for example, requires that you have done the AgilePM® Foundation course. Many intermediate or advanced training courses will also specify that you should have a certain number of hours in study and experience before enrolling. The best thing to do is speak to one of our project management career advisors; this is a free service and will help you understand what courses you can and should take.

Are project managers still in demand?

Absolutely! In fact, they seem to be more in demand than ever in Australia, New Zealand, and beyond. In March 2025, there were 22.5k project management jobs open in Australia on the large online employment marketplace, Seek, according to PeopleCert.org.

There is also growing demand for project management talent in New Zealand, with this demand notably outweighing availability, according to careers and recruitment consultancy, Salt.

What is the salary of a project manager?

In Australia, salaries for project management professionals generally range from $110,000 to $160,000+ per year (AUD). This varies based on experience, location, and industry. The same variances apply to project management salaries in New Zealand, but they typically range from $80,000 to $130,000 per year (NZD).

Is 40 too old to become a project manager?

Absolutely not. A lot of the people we speak to at Learning People are looking to change careers in their 30s, 40s, or even older. If you're keen to study and work hard to be successful in project management, you should not find that age is a limiting factor.

Are project management courses difficult?

We're not going to say they're easy. You do need to work hard and be consistent with your study to gain any project management qualification. The courses we offer are flexible, online and self-paced, meaning you can fit the study hours around your other commitments or work. We also offer proprietary and award-winning StudentCare™ to support you during your learning, so even when things get tough, we can help you power through to success.
