The CIOB Academy is offering members a new online Site Management Certificate. It aims to provide candidates with all the tools and knowledge to gain a recognised professional qualification as well as the skills to manage people, activities and processes on construction sites.
Candidates should have at least one of the following to start the course:
- Two years’ experience on site with some general management responsibility;
- Completion of a NVQ level 3 in a relevant industry subject;
- Completion of CIOB Site Supervisory course
Those who pass the course and gain the certificate will be eligible to apply for the CSCS black card.
The course is developed by hugely experienced construction professionals, and the lead trainer is Dr Mike Hammond FCIOB. Dr Hammond holds a PhD in Education Policy, as well as a degree in quantity surveying, an NVQ5 in management and leadership, an MA in quality management, and a degree and masters with distinction in law. He has been a full member of the CIOB since 1996 and became a fellow in 2016.
Dr Hammond has also worked for a number of large consultancies, including Turner & Townsend, and as a lecturer and manager in construction in further education. Before building his own consultancy, he worked as head of research at SummitSkills, the Sector Skills Council for the building services engineering sector.
“The CIOB site management course is an ideal course for those people in management or aspiring to be in management who have not been in formal education for some time, or who are looking to develop their skills,” said Dr Hammond.
The course is four assessed units and taught in four-week blocks. It costs £995 + VAT. Book online at www.ciobacademy.org/course/level-4-site-management-certificate/
