Why am I doing this particular course and what is its relevance with my prior
education?
Since my past academic and professional pursuits have equipped me with a solid understanding of
the construction processes and fortified my technical skills, I gauged that I must scale my career
in the construction industry to a management position and thereby, accomplish my long-cherished
dream of starting my construction company. To fuel this intense desire, I realised that I must
advance my skills and knowledge in managing various projects of varying complexities. This led
me to pursue a program that enhanced my management skills in the construction industry. And I
was able to finally narrow down the graduate certificate program in Construction Project
Management as the ideal program.
The coursework divulges knowledge on construction health and safety, construction project
management fundamentals, project planning and scheduling, project cost control and accounting,
and human resources management, which would enable me to apply them in residential, industrial
and commercial and institutional construction projects. As the program would equip me with
dynamic and hands-on skills in the construction business, I am certain that I would be able to
manage the construction processes effectively and tackle the challenging situations that arise on
the construction site.
Why did I choose Canada?
Canada appealed to me with its world-class education, high-quality programs and industry-
relevant curriculum. While I was in search of attaining global exposure and practical training in
my field of study, I overlooked the institutes in India as the institutions in the country focused
primarily on theoretical aspects of knowledge without giving importance to its practicality. Hence,
I decided to study at a foreign institute. Even though I initially considered the countries of the
USA, the UK and Australia as my study destination, I chose not to study in these countries due to
their exorbitant tuition fees and living expenses. As Canada offered affordable academic options
without compromising on the quality, I finalised my decision in favour of it. Moreover, Canada is
a safe country with friendly living conditions and a multicultural learning environment, which
would make my stay comfortable. All these aspects influenced me to choose Canada as my study
destination.
