The CPC50320 Diploma of Building and Construction (Management) is a nationally recognised qualification at AQF Level 5, developed by BuildSkills Australia under the CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package (Release 9.1). It is the benchmark qualification for project supervisors, site managers, and construction managers across Australia.
At Wyatt Education Group, we deliver CPC50320 with a focus on real-world construction management practice — site operations, contracts, compliance, health and safety, and team leadership. Our trainers bring direct industry experience from major residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects across NSW.
Project supervisors and construction managers are currently in critical shortage across NSW, with the state government's $112 billion infrastructure pipeline creating sustained demand for formally qualified management professionals. CPC50320 graduates from Wyatt are immediately competitive for senior site roles across Greater Sydney.
