The combined PGA IGI and Bachelor degree programme is very unique and one I learned from greatly during my time of study. I met many PGA professionals, including those at the IGI, who were extremely helpful and made my three years very enjoyable as I studied Golf, Business and Sports Management. Gaining the qualification also gave me a pathway into the PGA Trainee programme, becoming a full vocational member of the PGA of Australia. This has provided me with many opportunities in the golf industry here in Southeast Asia.

The PGA IGI Diploma of Golf Management has taught me so much and was so relevant in so many ways.  I benefitted from the formal course and assignment work, along with workplace practical elements, from running a pro shop, to course management and the logistics around competition management.

The PGA International Golf Institute helped give me my start in the golf industry as a result of the golf knowledge, confidence and networking I obtained during my 3 years with the institute. As a graduate of the PGA IGI, is has provided me with a number of career paths, including making the successful start in golf club management. I am fortunate to now have great friends, networks and industry colleagues that originated from my time studying the Diploma of Golf Management with the PGA IGI.

He came, he saw … and he came back for more. Mark Bielby enjoyed his first year at TPP so much that he returned for a second year to complete the Diploma in Outdoor Instruction and Guiding.

‘The certificate year was great fun; I absolutely loved it. And coming this far, from the UK, I soon decided it would be better to get a more advanced qualification. The diploma is more in-depth, more challenging, more interesting – and I’m sure it will open up more opportunities.’
