The required level of competency for a Diploma is ACSF Level 4 and for a Certificate IV, ACSF Level 3 is the required competency level.
While there is no formal prerequisite study required to enter this qualification, it is recommended that individuals have some relevant industry experience to assist with the learning application required for this course.

Upon enrolment, all students will be assessed over time by their learning coach for their language, literacy and numeracy skills. Where these levels fall below the requisite ACSF standard for the qualification, the coach will advise the student of the remedial options open to them. This may involve additional support or a withdrawal of enrolment and refund of fees paid.

This Building and Construction (Management) Diploma is recognised and respected nationally so there’s nothing left standing in your road to success.
Investing in yourself is the greatest investment you can make. Construction Project Management as a profession is evolving to allow for and encourage a strategic and innovative mindset to drive performance and productivity in businesses. The key to a higher paying, respected position is a recognised qualification like the Diploma of Building and Construction online.
This course is designed to give you the skills needed to champion the construction industry, transitioning from working on the tools to eventually running the entire process from start to finish.
With the age pension soon to be increased to 67 years of age for those born after 1st January 1957, you need to formulate a plan now on how to get off the tools and into some project management related roles.
What if you’re reading this and you’re already in a project management role? What happens if your contract isn’t renewed and you need to drop back to being on the tools to make ends meet? At the end of the day you still have to have some kind of enjoyment with your career. However for many who are still on the tools, it’s just a daily grind where your opinion and insight don’t count for anything.
Getting off the tools and into a project management related role means that you’ll become more involved in the entire construction process; you’ll have a direct say and input in what happens throughout the cycle of the project. Think about where you want to be in the next 5 or 10 years, talk to those who are in the positions which you want and start researching some further study in how to increase your chances of getting into those off the tools construction roles.
