I had a great time learning about Construction and Project Management, all the modules were awesome. My personal favorite: Tech Trends. I hope you learn as much as I did, totally recommend this.

The modules need updating considering the pandemic economy, rising interest rates, and higher inflation have all affected the construction industry.

Nothing about this course makes it interesting. If it was interesting, one would have the urge to return to continue with this course.

[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

Janier
