Fatigue Risk Management

The Graduate Certificate in Fatigue Risk Management is designed to enable you to develop a comprehensive set of skills and knowledge relating to managing the risks associated with fatigue.

The program is designed for, but not exclusive to, people currently working in industry. The program is available to study part-time and by distance education and will provide a mix of guided online learning and face-to-face interactions. During the program you will learn about human factors, risk management, and fatigue risk
management.

Do these programs require me to study on campus?

The programs are specifically targeted at people who are working in the rail industry and are designed to be part-time and external. Some of the courses contain compulsory residential schools which require attendance of up to two weeks at an on-campus workshop. These on-campus workshops are a valuable opportunity to meet the teaching staff and to network with other students who will ultimately form your rail safety network.

I have already studied similar courses in the past. Can I get credit for these?

You can normally get credits for up to 50% of your program if you have done equivalent courses at other universities. Credit for prior learning is assessed by the Program Director following application to the program.

How much do the programs cost?

Courses fees are approximately $2,600 per course.

When are the programs available?

The Programs are available for entry throughout the year. The next deadline for entry is TBC.
