ALL LEVELS 

 

The Holcim Sustainable Construction Academy courses are designed to be flexible and modular. If you are new to the principles of sustainable construction, you may opt for a more linear and holistic approach, going from Topic 1 to Topic 10. If there are topics you are already familiar with, you can choose a topic that is new to you or resonates with you the most, depending on your background, years of experience, educational level and knowledge needs. The breakdown below will help you better understand the different levels:

BASIC 

You have little knowledge or experience in construction or the built environment. You would like to gain some foundational knowledge of sustainable construction and the basic concepts, vocabulary and terms that are commonly used in this topic.

INTERMEDIATE 

You have some knowledge and experience in construction or the built environment. You would like to delve deeper into specific topics in Sustainable Construction, discover current trends and relate them to your current practice.

ADVANCED 

You have very good and holistic knowledge and are currently working in construction or the built environment. You would like to gain very specific technical knowledge, learn about practical tools and techniques that could be applied directly to your day-to-day work.
