Course Overview

The Basic Civil Engineering course has been developed to provide Static, Inspection and Maintenance Engineers with a fundamental knowledge of civil design and construction methods that will assist them in their normal work and help them identify problems that they may encounter. The course uses highly interactive, solution driven case studies to enhance learning.

The course will include 12 modules over the five days which will introduce participants to the various elements covered. Modules will be delivered by tutorial style worked examples with assessment at the end of each module to ensure that concepts have been grasped before proceeding to the next element.

Target Audience

This course is highly suitable for graduate engineers who are looking to get a practical understanding of civil engineering. Mechanical inspection and static engineers are also highly recommended to attend.
