Do you get excited by the idea of a career in designing and managing the buildings we live in? This part-time Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Construction will help you take your first steps into construction and project management.

 

On this level 4 course, you'll get practical experience with emerging technologies (such as 3D printing and computer-aided design) and a grounding in the legal responsibilities and health and safety of construction management. You'll be learning from staff at South Hampshire College Group - Eastleigh Campus with extensive industrial experience, working toward a deep understanding of the construction process from design to completion.

 

When you complete this Construction HNC, you'll be fully equipped to take your next step into a job designing and managing construction projects, or to study further for a full degree in construction, or for a specialist role like surveyor or architect.
