Certificate in Construction Change Management/Variations
(Skills Upgrading)
Enrich with Construction Law
Course Justification
From among studies conducted, variations were found as a significant cause of cost (and time) overruns, which may lead the Quantity Surveyor's core job, Cost Management, to fail. Changes/variations are also a root cause of conflict & disputes in many projects. Although changes are inevitable in construction projects, effective and efficient change management is a prerequisite for delivering a dispute-free project while achieving cost management success. Employers require CAs/QSs with the required knowledge, expertise, and abilities to manage project costs and variations.

This is the first online class I participated in, but I was quite impressed with the entire process; the online facility was very professional. Our instructor is an expert in Variations and Quantity Surveying and was very clear in his method of teachings and explanations. There were also new learning techniques to teach complex concepts and those are very effective and learners can understand those complex concepts really easily. All my questions were answered and the class interaction was really good. This is the ultimate skill upgrading course for the Quantity Surveyors.
