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.
Overview
As a project manager, you'll oversee the construction project lifecycle, from start to finish. 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.

Testimonials
“This course has been fabulous. It was exactly what it said on the box, which was not only what I wanted, but needed for my business to advance in the way that I would like it to.”
“Being enrolled onto it has given me the opportunity to find my first job in the UK. I am working as a Project Manager and the reading material, especially the course textbook, is a real asset in which I can find all what I need to understand my job.”
“Concise but informative learning modules and appropriate reading to aide learning. Presented in a user-friendly way.”
“I found the content interesting, and the case study work useful in solidifying my understanding of what I have read. The broad-brush style of the content means that several topics can be looked at. I think this is a good course for someone relatively early on in their housing career.”
“The course is a good tool to help any construction management professional to increase their knowledge and understanding of project management and the construction process.”
“I was very impressed with the fact the course had multiple elements like the e-learning presentation, essential reading documentation, further reading section, the consolidation session which was live. Plus the case studies that we had to do throughout the course presented a challenge that made me understand more the processes. And the quiz at the end of the module helped to see where I need further study.”
