Students in the Post-Graduate Certificate in Digital Construction Management program earn a skill set that combines construction management techniques with comprehensive knowledge of advanced technologies. Harnessing the power of emerging technologies, students will learn how to optimize the construction process for efficiency, sustainability and cost effectiveness.

The construction building cycle is followed through practical assignments within the program, allowing participants to engage in hands-on learning. They take part in experiential learning opportunities, such as case studies and the evaluation of digital plans, while developing technical skills through an integrated project that spans the duration of the certificate. Students also complete a construction practicum and select one of three focus streams: Contract Administration, Construction Estimation, or Construction Project Coordination. Throughout the program, they engage with construction leaders and peers in dynamic discussions, progressing alongside a consistent peer cohort, which helps build a professional network. Upon graduation, students leave with a robust construction portfolio and valuable technical experience.

Admission Requirements

  • Degree or Diploma in architecture, civil engineering, interior design, or other engineering fields (such as industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering etc.).
  • Overall IELTs (or equivalent) score of 6.5.

What You’ll Learn

  • Develop technical knowledge of construction management in areas such as construction methods, materials, cost estimation, scheduling, quality control and interpreting and evaluating construction digital plans.
  • Integrate cutting-edge technology with modern practices in construction management such as 3D modelling, Building Information Modeling (BIM) and construction management software, such as Autodesk.
  • Use advanced technology such as automation and AI to improve efficiency and reduce errors and cost.
  • Apply cost estimation, budget, and schedule management practices to streamline critical path of construction projects.
  • Utilize basic estimating techniques and cost estimation software, and integrate logistics with scheduling and resource management to enhance project efficiency.

I enrolled in the Human Resources Management course from York University with course instructor Amina Malik. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the textbook and completing the interactive assignments via the discussion board. Amina was actively involved by posting comments and providing advice on the boards.

The textbook "Managing Human Resources" authored by Belcourt, M., Bohlander, G., & Snell, S. is very well written and organized. It contains a lot of relevant and up-to-date information, as well as many case studies, an ethics in HRM feature, and other ways to help students learn and apply the material.

I have to be honest in saying that I didn't really enjoy the multimedia presentations as much as the book, but that may be just a personal learning style. The ones that I covered were detailed and well presented.

I would recommend this course to anyone wishing to gain more training and knowledge about Human Resources. It is part of the CPHR program offered here:

I enjoyed the experience at York University. The Director of my program (Advanced Certificate in Accounting) was very knowledgeable and guided me when I had questions regarding my school curriculum. Moreover, staff is always ready to help, teachers are passionate about their jobs. For me, the most rewarding aspect was to meet exceptional classmates with whom I learned a lot. Thanks to #YUSCS!
