    Advanced Diploma Programs in Building Services

    Earning an advanced diploma can give students the additional information they need about their chosen field of study to jumpstart their careers. Often taking between one to three years of concentrated study, many select this option rather than pursuing other lengthier or more expensive degrees.

    What is an advanced diploma in building services? Students who choose this degree can graduate with advanced knowledge about emerging technologies in this rapidly developing area. Classes cover topics such as heating, refrigeration and electrical systems, surveying, building design, structural engineering, green technology, materials management and all aspects related to construction from bare ground through project completion. Specialty topics such as woodworking, sculpture, landscaping, carpentry and plumbing may also be covered.

    Project management and organizational skills are easily applied both personally and professionally. Understanding how electrical, cooling, and heating systems work can be helpful when purchasing or making repairs on residential or commercial properties.

    Costs can vary depending on the length of the program and the location of the school offering the program. In addition to tuition and fees, certain classes could include the requirement for students to purchase construction or lab materials. Paid or unpaid apprenticeships and internships may be required to graduate.

    Jobs in the building services industry can be found worldwide. Graduates frequently select rewarding careers as a building services supervisor, construction services manager, building superintendent, director of maintenance services, building engineer or supervisory project manager. Those with an interest in sales may find careers as account executives or sales managers. Others with a background in finance may choose positions as an operations accountant or director of finance for a builder, architect or building management company.
