Construction Management for England (Construction Site Supervisor)

The HNC lays the foundation of learning by providing a broad introduction to construction and different construction management functions. This develops and strengthens core skills while preparing you for specialist subjects at Level 5 or to enter employment with the qualities necessary for job roles that require some personal responsibility. You will gain a wide range of construction knowledge linked to practical skills gained through research, independent study, directed study and workplace scenarios. Students are involved in vocational activities that help them to develop behaviours (the attitudes and approaches required for a competence) and transferable skills. Transferable skills are those such as communication, teamwork, research and analysis, which are highly valued in higher education and in the workplace. By the end of Level 4, you will have sound knowledge of the basic concepts of construction. You will be competent in a range of subject-specific skills as well as in general skills and qualities relevant to key areas of construction

The purpose of the HNC Construction Management for England (HTQ Status) is to develop students as professional, self-reflecting individuals who are able to meet the demands of employers in the construction sector and adapt to a constantly changing world.

It will help you develop confidence to work across different business functions and to lead, manage, respond to change, and tackle a range of complex construction situations

Develop an understanding of the major impact that new digital technologies have on the construction environment as well as equip students with knowledge and understanding of culturally diverse organisations, cross-cultural issues, diversity and values, and to allow flexible study to meet local and specialist needs.
