Delivered by the School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment, this online course covers the key concepts within health and safety and how it applies to construction project management.
This course will help you to get to grips with the underpinning knowledge that enables construction professionals to discharge their duties by identifying hazards and advising in risk management processes.
After successfully completing this course you will be able to:
- critically discuss and apply health and safety legislation

At the end of the eight-week course, you will be awarded a CPD certificate.
Passing the assessed element (an exam or coursework) can also contribute ten credits towards a postgraduate award. All candidates seeking credit will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. If you wish to follow the credit route you must mention this on your application form.
