Presentation of the project results
Changes are possible, the course content is updated regularly.
After completing the course, you will have a basic understanding of planning, documenting, and monitoring quality standards throughout the entire construction phase, and you will have mastered useful communication skills for mediating between the various roles and requirements of a construction project. You will also be familiar with the applications of artificial intelligence and digital tools in construction planning. In addition, you will be familiar with the Harmonized Structure (HS) as the standardized framework for ISO management system standards and will know how quality management can be integrated with other management systems, such as environmental or occupational health and safety management.
The course is aimed at people with knowledge of (civil) engineering or architecture as well as specialists from related sectors with appropriate professional experience.
After the course, a wide range of career opportunities will open up in the field of construction management, project management or quality management at construction companies. You can work for engineering firms or as a consultant for construction companies that focus on sustainable and quality-oriented construction processes.
Your meaningful certificate provides a detailed insight into the qualifications you have acquired and improves your career prospects.
Didactic concept
Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).
You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.
