Course information:
Lean construction is “a way to design production systems to minimise waste of materials, time, and effort in order to generate the maximum possible amount of value…”
The Management Edge has developed a streamlined approach to Construction Site Management which combines Lean Methodology + Construction Management, by combining two nationally recognised qualifications tailored to your business needs and delivered to support you in the Workplace.
Course outcomes:
CPC40508 CERTIFICATE IV IN BUILDING & CONSTRUCTION (SITE MANAGEMENT)
This qualification will increase your knowledge and skills in the Building Industry, and prepare you (or your staff) to better understand and respond to the responsibilities and duties of care in managing a construction site. The course is a mix of people management and building industry knowledge. It will develop skills in;
- project supervision,
- building project management,
- building estimating,
- site supervision,
- legislative requirements,
- building codes and standards,
- site safety
- people management and
- construction business
MSS40316 CERTIFICATE IV IN COMPETITIVE SYSTEMS AND PRACTICES
The aim of “Competitive Systems and Practices” or “Lean” is to design working systems to minimize waste of materials, time, and effort in order to generate the maximum possible amount of value.
The program is structured in two streams (that run concurrently):
Off-the-Job component: Participants will attend training at our training facility in the evening (weekly 5 hr blocks)
On-the-Job: The on-site material is aligned to the day-to-day management of the site that the supervisor is currently managing whereby we would conduct monthly training on site a day or half day per month over 5-10 days (negotiable) which would
involve gathering your supervisors onto a site and provide training. The next month the training is rotated to one of the other sites.
Benefit: the learners get to see how things are managed first- hand at different Type/ scale projects.
Course structure:
CPC40508 Certificate IV in Building & Construction (Site Management) requires completion of 15 units of competency. MSS40316 Certificate IV in Competitive Systems and Practices requires completion of 12 units of competency. To obtain a dual qualifiaction the following 26 units must be completed.

More information:
This program is intended for people who are serious about investing in themselves or their staff to develop career path opportunities for the future, or to ensure that worksite practices and behaviours comply fully with legal requirements. It requires commitment to attend training and to complete assignments within specified deadlines. Learners will be expected to make this commitment before being enrolled in the program, and deviation from it during the course may result in them being withdrawn. The construction industry strongly affirms that training and assessment leading to recognition of skills must be undertaken in a real or very closely simulated workplace environment and this qualification requires all units of competency to be delivered in this context.
Assessment Methods:
- Theory & knowledge assessments
- Case studies
- Practical exercises
- Project Work
- Workplace observations
- Workplace Supervisors’ reports
Resources Provided: Learning resources will be provided including; training manuals, powerpoint presentations, You-tube clips webinars etc.
Induction: Trainees will be introduced to the course, delivery and assessment methods, and expectations and rights of trainees prior to course commencement.
All trainees are expected to comply with worksite WHS procedures and policies during practical activities. Safety procedures in the classroom will be explained at the commencement of the course.
RPL & Credit Transfer: Students who believe they have sufficient experience to demonstrate full competence against particular units may apply for RPL using the forms and processes available from the TME office. Students may apply for credit transfer for any units completed in prior qualifications, including for the elective units.
Funding: This program may be supported by Victorian State Government funding or subsidised by the NSW Government subject to eligibility. New employees may also be eligible for Commonwealth Government Funding. Contact us to check your eligibility.
Workplace Training: Programs can be customised to meet individual or workplace requirements. On the job training and assessment activities are built into our programs to benefit employers and enable learners to develop relevant workplace skills.
We actively tailor training for people from diverse backgrounds, including those with disabilities, and encourage all to apply.
