202 Oral and Written Communication – Both oral and written communication deeply impact the people you work with and work life situations, which is why this course is included in our construction supervisor certificate programs.
Communication is multi-faceted. It includes nonverbal communication, body language, listening, inflection, and written communication. Without quality skills in each of these categories you are putting yourself and your career at a severe disadvantage.
Excellent supervisors are able to delegate tasks and instruct people in various situations, no matter what is thrown at them. Please keep this in mind as you continue on your path toward completing your construction supervisor certificate.
