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. The role combines managerial work with technical work into one highly skilled position. 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.

The construction sector is one that most people enter into straight from school or college because it’s generally favoured by people more focused on work than study. Diplomas of any sort in Quantity Surveying are rare in Britain, particularly courses which can be done online. The College of Contract Management’s live online Advanced Diploma in Quantity Surveying is one of the first of its kind, making it a stand-out qualification on your CV.
