CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND QUANTITY SURVEYING
ADVANCED DIP IN CONSTR. HEALTH & SAFETY

Course Aim:
This programme will provide crucial construction health and safety skills, and add value to existing construction enterprises, as well as new construction enterprises as required for practising as a construction health and safety officer and a construction health and safety manager.

Purpose and Rationale of the Qualification
The study of construction health and safety management at this level aims to equip students with advanced knowledge in the discipline of construction health and safety management, and to apply that knowledge, skills, and values within a business or project environment.

Professional Registration
Graduates are eligible for professional registration with the South African Council for Project and Construction Management Professions (SACPCMP). Professional registration enables them to practise as construction health and safety officers. In addition, graduates are eligible for particular categories of membership of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).

Opportunities:
Given the prioritisation of improvements in construction health and safety worldwide and the dire shortage of qualified health and safety practitioners, this qualification equips students to render health and safety consulting seminars and be employed as health and safety specialists in construction.

Admission requirements:
• A 360 credit Diploma in Construction or an equivalent qualification at NQF L6 in civil engineering or architecture.
• A National Diploma in Building or an equivalent qualification at NQF L6 in civil engineering or architecture.

If the applicant has an international qualification, that qualification must be evaluated by the South African Qualifications Authority Unit for Evaluation of Foreign Qualifications before submission of the application (visit www.saqa.org.za).
