Supervisory Training Program

Advance Your Career As A Construction Supervisor

Become an effective manager and supervisor with our suite of construction superintendent classes and construction management classes!

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER

Prospective and veteran supervisors in construction can take full advantage of all of our superintendent classes and construction management classes in our Supervisory Training Program (STP) to get the knowledge and skills they need to manage budgets, schedules, materials, projects, and people.

Our students come from all over the country, all over the world and from multiple positions in the construction industry. Bringing online classes with current information into the workplace is exciting and useful for the students and their companies.

STP is offered at various online chapters of the Associated General Contractors (AGC) and at nonprofit organizations across the country. You can see our list of partner chapters at this link. Sign up for STP online at any participating chapter and learn more here.

Our courses, including our construction superintendent classes, are 100% online so there is no need to ever enter a classroom. Take your class from any computer with an Internet connection. Expect to spend between 3 and 5 hours per week studying and participating with your classmates, logging in at least 4 or 5 times a week to fully engage in your studies. There are no required class hours.

COLLEGE CREDIT

STP online is also offered for college credit at San Diego State University as the Certificate In Construction Supervision. You must register at SDSU to obtain the college credits for your construction superintendent classes. AGC chapters across the United States and Bucks County Community College also offer the same courses as the Supervisory Training Program.

ALL CLASSES ARE ONLINE

All courses in the program, including our construction superintendent classes, consist of one class each week during the 10 week semester. Students are not required to attend class at specific times but there will be a certain amount of work to be done each week. See the 200 Series Course List by clicking on the button below.

Students in this program must take charge of their own education. Since there are no required class times, students must have the self-discipline to make sure they do the class work and satisfy weekly participation requirements. Class participation is asynchronous and will occur in the form of bulletin board postings. That means that class discussions consist of comments posted by students at different times. You may log on to find that a classmate has posed a question earlier in the day that you can answer. Your answer may occur several hours or even days later. This is how asynchronous discussion works.

CERTIFICATES AWARDED

The Certificate in Construction Supervision program incorporates the AGC’s Supervisory Training program as well as other current information about the subject at hand. Students will receive an AGC certificate of completion and a letter grade from San Diego State University (SDSU) upon the completion of each course in the series of construction superintendent classes

Upon completion of all 8 classes in the series, students will receive a Certificate in Construction Supervision from SDSU and will have also received a certificate of completion for each course. Completion of the Certificate in Construction Supervision is based upon successful completion of 8 of the 8 courses in the Construction Supervision series. The AGC requires all 6 200 series classes to be completed to receive their certification.

STUDENT REVIEWS

“The course had a positive impact on my understanding of my role at work. Most importantly, I consider it now to practice more based on the knowledge learnt. It is absolutely clear that being an effective leader is a long way and a lot of work on yourself, your mistakes and tries. I liked the format of this course, it was interesting to read the opinions of my classmates. We are from different countries, different ages, different experiences and backgrounds.” (201 Leadership and Motivation (Link 201))

“Being a effective listener will help me in the day to day parts of my job. Getting more feedback is crucial to the success of the job. I have implemented this train of thought and had the best outcome so far. Not hearing what I want to hear but actually absorbing what is being discussed.” (202 Oral and Written Communication (Link 202),)

“The most valuable lesson was to look at risk from all angles and to use brainstorming with others to ensure that every issue is covered. This same lesson applies to solutions. The course also helped me to think about my own projects in a different way by stepping back and applying the different frameworks presented, which was very valuable.” (203 Risk Management and Problem Solving (Link 203))
