Graduate Certificate in Fatigue Risk Management

About

Overview

Advance your skills and knowledge in fatigue risk management and meet the growing need across the aviation, rail, road and mining sectors for appropriately qualified individuals to design and implement risk management plans.

The Graduate Certificate in Fatigue Risk Management is a postgraduate course that aims to develop a comprehensive set of skills and knowledge relating to managing the risks associated with fatigue. The course is designed for, but not exclusive to, people currently working in the industry. The units are run by online study and provide blended staff-guided learning including both online engagement and face-to-face interactions.

As a student in the course, you will learn about safety systems and regulations, human factors and fatigue risk management.

Upon completion, you may continue your learning by enrolling in the Graduate Diploma of Occupational Health and Safety to further specialise. You will have an opportunity to complete authentic learning tasks to contextualise your learning.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

The entry requirements to undertake a research higher degree is different from a postgraduate coursework. In addition to meeting the academic entry requirements, you must select your research area of interest as well as find your research supervisor.

English Program Requirements

We accept several English tests. Please refer to our English language proficiency requirements table for the minimum scores required. Some courses require higher scores. Please refer to the CQUniversity handbook or the Variations Listing at the bottom of this page for a list of courses with variations to the standard English language requirements.

Your English test results are valid if no more than two years have lapsed between the final examination result date and the date of commencement of study. Every student will be assessed individually, and other equivalent English preparation or combinations of English preparation will be considered.

Career

Career Opportunities

Recent developments in safety regulation mean that there are very good employment prospects for graduates of the course. Fatigue has recently been classified as an identifiable work-related hazard and organizations in certain industry sectors are now required to present a fatigue management plan under relevant legislation. Preparation of fatigue risk management plans in aviation, rail, road and mining will require an appropriately qualified individual to assist in the design, implementation and evaluation of this plan. In addition, regulatory agencies tasked with approving fatigue risk management plans will require appropriately trained and knowledgeable professionals.
