Having strong project management skills in construction isn’t just valuable – it’s transformative. It’s the difference between a chaotic site and a well-oiled machine. The Project & Job Management Skills Bootcamp is your chance to excel at strategic planning and leadership. You’ll gain practical experience in project scheduling, budgeting, and digital job management, while exploring sustainability, safety, and compliance.

Learn how to manage people, profit, and projects with confidence – and build the business skills that set great project managers apart. You’ll also undertake a valuable 3-day course in either Behavioural & Psychological Safety or PRINCE2® 7 Foundation – you choose. Whether you’re an experienced builder or just starting on your construction career, this course will give you the tools, insight, and confidence to run successful projects in today’s competitive construction industry.

Who is Project & Job Management for?

We train those who have a few years under the belt, those who have years of experience but want greater knowledge or those who are new to the construction industry, pivot into a different role. As long as you’re 19+ then go for it! All we ask from you is a real interest and willingness to learn. Whether you’re wanting a career change, stepping back into work after a break, an employee keen to offer more, unemployed, self-employed looking to upskill, running your own business and wanting to do better… let’s talk.

“I’m learning more than I ever imagined I would.”
