Overview

You’ve built a rewarding career in construction, now level up and take the next step with the Diploma of Construction Management. Develop the skills to take on roles like contract administrator, project manager and estimating associate with this practical two-year, part-time university qualification.

The Diploma of Construction Management offers an opportunity for employees in the building and civil construction industries to obtain the skills required to meet the projected workforce demands resulting from Tasmania’s significant infrastructure and capital works projects pipeline. You'll develop the knowledge and practical skills to manage small teams, and learn how to communicate clearly across the range of people who work in building and construction.

You'll also develop an understanding of legislation and codes and contract requirements, learn how to manage project costs, and discover how to take a proactive approach to work health and safety. The course will support you in developing good habits and skills for continual professional learning — the key to a successful and long-lasting career.

The course is suited to existing employees within the building and civil construction industries who hold a Certificate III in Building & Construction, or a Certificate III in Civil Construction, have relevant industry experience, and are looking to upskill into roles with additional functional requirements and higher levels of responsibility. The course is also suited to employees within city councils, utilities and engineering consultancy firms who are looking to develop professional skills in construction project management.
