It was a proud day on Monday 14th November as students graduated for 2016 from the PGA IGI Golf Management Program. After a year of study, successful students graduated with Australia’s only golf management qualification, the 10459NAT Diploma of Golf Management.
Held at the Jabiru Restaurant at Sanctuary Cove Golf & Country Club, students were joined by family, friends and loved ones in celebrating their achievements with the PGA International Golf Institute.
Over one year of study in the Golf Management Program, students learnt the business and management foundations that are applied to the golf industry.

“The program aims at getting students ready for a career in the golf industry, providing them with job ready skills to take on board and used within the workforce,” explained PGA IGI Senior Manager, Christine Straw.
