context
“The civil engineering industry recruits around 80,000 people every year, at every level of qualification and in many different fields of work.” (Source: French Building Federation).
This course was created and underpinned at the request of the 4 leading companies in the construction inspection field. They continue to be involved as there is a great need for professionals in the field of technical inspection in the construction industry. In addition to inspection you will study many aspects of civil engineering, including design, construction, maintenance and technical assessment which will prepare you to work in more specialized fields such as General Contracting, Contracting Authorities or Construction Site Management.
