I’d recommend this course to anyone who would like to see the bigger picture of construction and understand that a project is a journey involving a wide range of skills and personalities.I found that my lecturers have an open-door policy and have always been extremely supportive. They genuinely care about your success and about pushing you forward without making things too easy.
