Effective collaboration in construction (taster)
New roads, new bridges, new buildings, new schools, new sports arenas - there is plenty of evidence of people working together on large construction projects. Understanding how different people and organisations work together successfully in construction is important. This course will help identify the necessary skills and conditions for working together, and recognise how to improve effectiveness in collaborative situations.

Practical leadership in construction (taster)
The housing market slowdown, the credit crunch, changing plans from central government on funding projects, mounting pressure for health and safety, welfare, environment, and sustainability, together with an increasingly diverse workforce, mean that leadership and management have never been so much in demand. Find out more details or register (if you are not eligible for the Special Offer).
