WANTING TO BECOME AN ESTIMATOR OR ALREADY WORKING AS ONE?

Since 2015, we have offered an estimating course that will give you a qualification without taking years of study, and at a fraction of the cost of the polytechnics. Suitable for anyone, with or without Construction or Civil experience, you will have access to a tutor at all times via phone or email.

Due to popular demand, we now offer a Structural Steel and Fabrication estimating course. Contact us to find out more.

With no time limit on our course, you can start at any time, and study at your own pace, in your own place. No need to attend classes as it is all done electronically. Pay for each unit as you study, or receive a discount if you enrol and pay for the entire course up front. 

Our courses are based on current industry methods, which we update regularly, for Construction, Civil or Structural Steel tendering and estimating, as well as Contracts Administration, using First Principles and experience.

Whether you are an estimator already working in the industry that wants certification, a school leaver or just looking for a career change, this course will help you work towards a career as a Registered Estimator™

Tier 1 and Tier 2 companies are using our courses to upskill their existing staff, meaning
98% of our students are now currently employed or have their own business in the construction, civil or structural steel industry.
