The RII60520 Advanced Diploma of Civil Construction Design at Albury College, Australia, is a 52-week comprehensive program designed for individuals aiming to build a career as senior civil works designers or para-professional engineers supporting professional engineers. Delivered both face-to-face at the Parramatta campus and through online learning, the course blends theoretical knowledge with practical application, covering complex design tasks, technical problem-solving, and strategic project management. Graduates may pursue roles such as Civil Engineering Designer, Senior Designer, or Civil Construction Manager and may also opt for skill assessments through Engineers Australia or VETASSESS for further professional recognition. The course requires international students to meet specific English language and educational prerequisites, along with participation in a suitability interview and an LLN assessment. With a total tuition fee of $20,000 plus enrolment and materials fees, students will engage in diverse learning activities, from classroom discussions and online modules to real-world simulated assessments. The curriculum includes core and elective units covering risk management, team effectiveness, WHS design principles, and advanced civil works design processes. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Transfer (CT) are available upon formal application. Successful enrolment leads to orientation, induction, and ongoing academic and student support throughout the program, ensuring students are well-equipped for industry demands and further educational pathways.
