The Public Sector Management Program

The Public Sector Management Program (PSMP) has been designed through a collaboration of governments around Australia specifically for mid-level managers in the public sector and is suitable for the Tasmanian State Service, local government and non-government organisations (NGOs). The program is delivered by Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and is proudly supported by the Tasmanian Training Consortium.

Delivered 100% online, the PSMP offers Tasmanians access and flexibility to study a post-graduate program and earn an internationally recognised qualification with a Graduate Certificate in Business (Public Sector Management).
