HND (HTQ) Construction Management for England (Construction Site Supervisor) - Sept Part Time Day - awarded by Pearson
Is this course for me?
Do you see yourself leading construction teams, managing activity on-site, and making sure projects are delivered safely, on time, and to spec?
This course is for those who've already completed a relevant Level 4 qualification (like an HNC) and are ready to step into supervisory or site management roles. It's designed for people who want to be hands-on — coordinating trades, overseeing daily operations, and ensuring quality and safety standards are met.
You'll develop the skills to manage resources, lead teams, monitor compliance, and tackle the fast-paced demands of a live construction site. From health and safety to project control, this course equips you with the technical knowledge and leadership abilities employers are looking for.
If you're already working in the sector or looking to move up into a site supervisor or assistant site manager role, this qualification gives you the confidence, credibility, and practical skills to get there.
We know you're balancing life, work, and study — which is why this course is delivered flexibly to fit around your commitments. We offer September and January start dates.
Want to run a better site, lead a stronger team, and build a successful career? This course is for you.
The North-West Construction & Technology Excellence College (CTEC) at Wigan & Leigh College provides high-quality training for careers in construction. It was created in response to the need for around 40,000 new workers to fill construction jobs across the UK.
Construction is a modern industry with a wide range of opportunities. It combines technology, creativity, and practical skills, including digital design, 3D modelling, and more sustainable methods of building.
CTEC courses are developed with employers, ensuring you gain the skills companies are actively looking for. You'll build real experience and develop the knowledge employers value, helping you stand out when applying for apprenticeships or jobs.
This HND builds on your Level 4 knowledge and focuses on the real-world skills and responsibilities required to manage construction sites safely, efficiently, and professionally.

Assessment is practical and work-focused. You'll complete:
• Written assignments
• Coursework based on real-life scenarios

You'll study 1 day per week for 2 years. This part-time format is designed to work alongside your job or personal commitments.
