Course summary

This Level 4 programme is specifically designed for individuals who want to take their Level 3 learning in Construction to the next level with a focus on construction site supervision and management.

• provide the core skills required for a range of careers in construction, specifically those related to management and operations

• provide insight into international business operations and the opportunities and challenges presented by a global marketplace
