Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

Knowledge of quality-related activities is recommended.

After the course, you will not only be familiar with the basics of project management and project controlling, but also know the roles, tasks and interfaces as well as the most important regulations, standards and methods of construction project management in order to carry out timely and error-free construction project planning and support.

You will also have basic knowledge of planning, documenting and monitoring quality standards throughout the construction phase.

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.

You will also expand your portfolio with additional knowledge in the field of construction project management and will be in demand in engineering and architecture firms.

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.
