About the Course

Planning and Scheduling: Blueprint for Success Effective planning and scheduling are the backbone of any successful construction project. The Planning and Scheduling unit in AGC’s Supervisory Training Program, 10th edition equips you with the technical skills necessary to ensure your projects run smoothly from start to finish. The highly collaborative virtual program provides instruction via Zoom and is best suited for anyone on a construction jobsite in a supervisory role – from the new supervisor or foreman to the experienced superintendent who is looking to become a more effective manager of people, time, equipment and materials.

Comprehensive Project Planning: Learn how to meticulously plan every aspect of your project. From initial concept to final completion, understand how to create detailed project plans that anticipate challenges and streamline operations.

Utilizing Schedules: Discover how to develop and manage project schedules that communicate your plan clearly to all stakeholders. Learn techniques to track progress, adjust timelines, and ensure timely project completion.

Tracking Progress: Master the tools and methods for monitoring project milestones and performance. Gain insights into identifying potential delays and implementing corrective actions to keep your project on track.

This course is 1 of 6 units in the newly updated Supervisory Training Program (STP); a construction-specific training curriculum developed, updated and field-tested by and for contractors. Supervisory skill—or the lack of it—directly affects every company’s bottom line. You make your money in the field, and STP can help you improve your organization’s bottom line.
