Asset Management Council (AMCouncil) & Centre for Professional Engineering and Education (CPEE) celebrate Australasian launch of new Asset Management Course

hiclipart.comWe are currently experiencing the largest ever construction build of infrastructure in many states across the country. Australia’s focus on delivering projects in the built environment as a pathway to recovery post COVID, means delivering excellence in infrastructure, roads, construction and transport. Understanding, managing, and optimizing the asset base sustainably in this environment is essential for success. 

A collaborative partnership has been established between the Asset Management Council (AMCouncil) and the Centre for Professional Engineering Education (CPEE)  to create a course to meet current industry needs delivering best practice, resulting in the launch of the new four unit Graduate Certificate in Asset Management in 2021.
