The CPC60220 Advanced Diploma of Building and Construction (Management) develops advanced skills for planning and managing large and complex building projects. Licensing and registration requirements vary by state and may include additional qualifications, units, experience and regulator assessment.
The CPC60220 Advanced Diploma of Building and Construction (Management) is a nationally recognised qualification for experienced professionals developing advanced construction-management capability for large and complex projects.
The qualification covers advanced application of structural principles, building codes, Australian Standards and legal frameworks. It does not itself authorise unrestricted building work; licensing scope is decided by the relevant state or territory regulator.
Students develop expertise in applying building codes to large projects, establishing contract administration frameworks, assessing construction faults, implementing environmental management processes, and ensuring compliance with legal obligations across complex multi-stakeholder developments. The curriculum integrates strategic business risk management, work health and safety systems, and advanced structural principles specific to high-rise and complex construction.
Coursework is delivered online with flexible, self-paced study. Training and assessment evidence must be drawn from a real or closely simulated building and construction workplace. Completion does not guarantee a licence: each regulator may require additional units, experience, financial capacity or other assessments.
To achieve CPC60220, students must complete 10 units of competency (6 core and 4 elective units). Our course package covers the following units:
This qualification is designed for experienced building and construction professionals who are ready to advance to the highest level of industry practice.
Builders seeking to upgrade their licence to unlimited/open status and remove all restrictions on building scope.

Directors and principals who need the academic requirements for expanded licensing and major project eligibility.
Project managers working on large commercial, high-rise, or complex developments who require formal credentials.
The Advanced Diploma of Building and Construction Management is for those ready to move into high-rise and open-level building.
