Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management The Diploma of Golf Management (E-Learning) focuses on the business, management and operations for the golf industry. It is a study program for individuals looking to broaden and further enhance their knowledge of all areas of golf. The qualification will look in to areas of the golf industry such as golf shop operations, running tournaments and events, food and beverage operations, golf club management and much more. The introduction of the Diploma of Golf Management through e-learning compliments the PGA IGI’s other online learning program, the Advanced Club Management Program. The Advanced Club Management Program (incorporating BSB61015 Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management) looks specifically in to the skills set and knowledge required by managers within the golf and club industry today. The program looks at areas a manager uses each day in the workplace in regards to planning (strategic plan, business plan, marketing plan), financial management, organisational compliance, risk management, employee relations and more. It is ideal for General Managers looking to quantify their skills set, or those in middle to senior management roles looking to enhance their knowledge for further career progression.
