This is an online course that you can study in your own time. There are six modules, plus an exam at the end of the course. In each module, you have access to eLearning, reading, case study and a quiz. You also have access to live online consolidation sessions, where a tutor will take you through the module, case study and any tricky elements of learning. Each module is expected to take you one month. You are given one month to complete your exam and a further month to complete any outstanding work. After this time, the course will end, and you will no longer have access to these materials.

Course Overview

This involves working with clients on requirements, managing design, procurement, construction, and final handover. Mastering this enhances your skills as a construction professional and project executor.

Throughout the course, you'll explore each project stage and its key steps. This includes planning, organizing, and controlling construction operations, and managing feasibility studies, design, construction, maintenance, refurbishment, and demolition. The content provides a well-rounded view of construction project management and essential skills.
