Overview
The construction industry had been perceived as a labour-intensive and low-tech one. The adoption of technologies, streamlined work processes and best practices to boost construction productivity has revolutionised the way we build. To prepare the industry for such adoption, this programme aims to hone the skills and enhance the knowledge of built environment professionals in emerging areas such as Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD), Virtual Design & Construction (VDC), Lean Construction (LC), Pre-fabricated Bathroom Unit (PBU), Pre-fabricated and Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC), Mass Engineered Timber (MET) and automation in construction.
You will have the flexibility to take the modular certificates in any order and at your own pace*. The certificates can be stacked up towards the Specialist Diploma.
*Maximum of 3 years to accumulate the certificates for an academic qualification.
