Bath Spa University – Skills Bootcamp in Sustainable Construction Project Management

This Skills Bootcamp in Sustainable Construction Project Management will help you develop your understanding of sustainable construction practices and how they can be applied across the construction process.

The course follows a hybrid model, combining online and in-person learning. You will collaborate with other learners using a range of digital tools and platforms. Lecturers will use real-life scenarios and encourage you to draw on your own experiences throughout the course.

You’ll complete a Sustainable Construction module and a PRINCE2 Agile module. The course also includes a PRINCE2 Agile Foundation revision session, a final examination and employability workshops. Throughout the course, you’ll have opportunities to check in with lecturers, receive feedback on assignments and mock assessments, and access support.
