Very good introduction to outline the difference in project mgmt, programme mgmt and construction mgmt. Enough detail on various aspects for CM including type of contracts, technology and planning.

[Staff],

Sorry But I though I was going to learn hands on work practical experiences that I could use on my resume for actually getting a job since this is the main reason why I study not just for theory information like this course was.

I feel I was expecting more like for example showing if this construction project management is more like an office job rather than the heavy labour that most construction workers go through because I am only interested in office job and i thought this could be use for my resume to land a job but i didn't learn any technical here are all the courses like that?

Because I don't want to waste my time taking something that I am not going to learn any technical skill that could be use for receiving employment after completing the courses or degrees.

Regards
