You will learn how to:I decided to do the Level 6 Diploma in Construction Management course at WITT as I have always had a keen interest in construction. Going into the course with no experience in construction, I wasn't quite sure how I would handle it. Thankfully, I had a great assortment of tutors who supported me through the course and accommodated my level of understanding. The diploma opened my eyes to what makes a building go from design to reality. Overall, the course has provided me with the knowledge that I require to work in the construction industry and has allowed me to work for Leigh’s Construction as a Construction Management Cadet.
