Hi all,
I'm asking for professional advices that need your kindly help.
Short backgrounf of myself -
I have been working in Planning (in tender team, construction industry) for 2 years. Before I was working in a geotechnical engineering field as I have a Geo background. After two years working in planning I'm determnined to continue my career as a planner. I'm abit confused of what to do to make myself a professional and qualified planner...Please help to clear my doubts:
1, I dont exactly have an engineering background. I hold a bachelor degree of Earth Sciences. Is it necessaary to futher my study so as to have a more solid engineering qualification? If so, I'm considering MSC Construction Management. Is it actually necessary? I was told all I need to stay in this industry as a planner is to gain as much as work experience and referncess as I can. So does that mean taking a MSC isn't necessary?
2, I know there are certifications available from PMI and AACEi that represents professional qualification as planner. But it seems to me that they are for manager grade?
I'm actually looking for opportunities outside my home country. That's why I'm after international recognised qulaification.
I want to take my next step and I desperately need your help!
Thanks in advance!
Best wishes,
Polly
