SQA Advanced Certificate and Diplomas provide practical skills and theoretical knowledge that meet the needs of employers.

The SQA Advanced Certificate in Civil Engineering (SCQF level 7) develops knowledge and skills in areas such as geotechnics, civil engineering contracts and project management, construction site surveying, and construction technology (substructure and structural mechanics).

The SQA Advanced Diploma in Civil Engineering (SCQF level 8) builds on the knowledge and skills of the SQA Advanced Certificate and covers fluid mechanics and technology, computer applications for civil engineering, construction technical communication skills, health and safety in construction, reinforced concrete design and detailing, structural analysis, and structural steel design.
