Check with your local community college or university to see if they offer construction project management courses. Also conduct an online search by entering "construction project management classes" and the name of your state into a search engine.
Enroll in a program, pay the fees and start studying. Even before the formal classes begin, start to do your readings on things such as cost estimation and scheduling techniques.
Get a year-at-a-glance calendar and enter the dates your assignments are due. This way if you have a quality-control paper due on October 10th and another on construction planning that needs to be handed in on October 14th, you can plan your time accordingly.
Set up a study schedule. As scheduling will be a priority as a construction project manager, there is no better place to start learning the skills than in your personal life. Depending on your workload, plan to spend at least three to four hours a day -- in addition to time spent in classes -- doing your readings and assignments.
Find or start a construction project manager's support group. Talk to other people in your classes and set up a time when you can have weekly meetings to review materials, discuss assignments and share ideas.
Promise yourself a reward when you graduate from your construction management program. If it is a new car or a vacation, cut out a picture and hang it above your desk. This serves to inspire you when you are working on cost control and project accounting.
