ADVANCED DIPLOMA IN CONSTRUCTION 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 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.
