Diploma
The Diploma of Building and Construction (Building) has been designed to meet the needs of a building professional who coordinates the construction of a building, taking responsibility for the overall completion of the job, including selecting contractors, overseeing the work and its quality, and liaising with the client.
For those interested in taking this course, it's recommended that you are at least 18 years old and have finished year 12. Additionally, having a strong interest in the building and construction industry and possessing adequate literacy and numeracy skills is important.
If you are a mature learner, completing year 11 or its equivalent and having a passion for the building and construction industry are necessary.
It's important to realize that by completing this course, you may pursue job opportunities that involve outdoor, elevated, or underground work, often requiring physical effort.
Prior to enrolment or commencement of training you will be required to complete a literacy and numeracy assessment and a pre-training interview. These will assist with determining your suitability to the course, verify your training plan, and identify any learning support needs.
You may be able to reduce the number of units to be studied in your chosen course by measuring skills acquired through work, life experiences or qualifications obtained from formal studies or training. AQF qualifications and statements of attainment issued by another registered training organisation will be recognised by Holmesglen.
