The Asphalt Training UK course focuses on understanding asphalt properties, deterioration, and best practices for mixing, laying, and compacting. It aims to help delegates recognize asphalt mixtures for flexible roads, select the right asphalt for different sites, and ensure durability and value for money in pavement construction. Suitable for various road maintenance staff, the course includes real-life photo presentations and encourages delegate participation. The tutor, Jeff Farrington, offers extensive experience and ongoing advisory support. The course is recognized for CPD purposes and lasts one day.

This two-day course focuses on the practical application of design principles in structural steelwork. Participants will explore modern design methods, including beams and columns, under various loading conditions. The course aims to equip delegates with the knowledge to design safe and efficient steel structures according to BS5950 standards. Led by a chartered civil engineer, the interactive program includes workshops and tutorials to reinforce learning. Intended for civil and structural engineers, design managers, and staff from contractor, design, and client organizations seeking a hands-on introduction to practical steel design.

This one-day course focuses on transitioning from British Standards to Eurocode 2 for designing concrete structures. It covers key changes, structural behavior, and practical application of the new European design codes, with an emphasis on buildings. The course is intended for experienced Civil and Structural Engineers and aims to enable participants to design basic reinforced concrete structures to Eurocode 2, recognize differences between Eurocode 2 and BS8110, and understand the impact of Eurocodes on UK design practice.

This one-day course focuses on the Code for Sustainable Homes, a national standard aimed at improving sustainable building practices for new homes. The course aims to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to meet Code standards, understand its impacts, benefits, and cost implications, and identify appropriate design and construction approaches. It is designed for all project team members and local authority staff involved in sustainable developments. The course includes practical sessions, case studies, and a CD with additional resources.

The 2-day course aims to provide a foundational understanding of mixed traffic railways for young engineers and those transitioning into railway engineering. It covers topics such as track failures, maintenance, train operations, and construction. Participants will gain knowledge on track recording, curve design, and off-track maintenance responsibilities. The course also introduces an online knowledge resource developed by rail engineering experts. Suitable for newly qualified engineers entering railway design, project management, construction, or maintenance roles.

This one-day course focuses on road sign design and implementation. It covers topics such as the language of the road, road safety, environmental impacts, design principles, regulatory signs, and sign illumination. Participants will learn about the Traffic Signs Regulations and Manual, as well as other design sources. The course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of road sign design and maintenance.

The Environmental Impact Assessment Training course aims to provide a basic understanding of the procedures required for project development consent. It focuses on ensuring that the environmental effects of new developments are fully understood and considered before proceeding. The course covers topics such as sustainability, EIA processes, scoping, and decision-making. It is designed for professionals like developers, architects, engineers, and planners to incorporate EIA effectively into their projects. The course spans 2 days and is led by Professor Robert Jackson.
