Advanced Diploma in Quantity Surveying (Blended Learning)
Course Description
Firstly, our Advanced Diploma in Quantity Surveying course is an accessible step onto a rewarding career path or higher education. Quantity Surveyors are responsible for calculating the budget and costs of a building project. Most importantly, the role combines managerial work with technical work into one highly skilled position.
Furthermore, it’s a highly responsible job and the salary reflects that, but employers are struggling to fill the demand. Despite being a centuries-old practice, Quantity Surveying is a relatively new discipline in academia in contrast to something like Civil Engineering. As a result, employers are facing a skills shortage as the number of graduates is not meeting the number of Quantity Surveyors needed.

• Responsible for calculating the budget and costs of a building project.

The qualification can be offered to Learners from age 18. The Learners need to ensure that they have sufficient capability at the right level to undertake the learning and assessment.
