RMIT University
Diploma of Building and Construction (Building)
Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)Construction is not just about building sites, but about building a bigger picture: the planning, coordination, and control of a project from inception to delivery.
In this diploma, you'll examine the principles, techniques and regulations of the building and construction industry for all types of medium-rise and wide-span buildings up to 25 metres high.
This practical curriculum incorporates hands-on work and project-based learning. You'll experience many aspects of building projects and understand how they all relate to each other. You’ll go on site excursions to gain hands-on field experience which will include visits to residential and commercial construction projects.
Graduates have the option to continue further studies in construction, project management, or property services with RMIT.
