The Pavement Design Training course focuses on the Design Manual for Roads & Bridges (DMRB) standards in the UK, essential for highway professionals. The course covers the new pavement design suite, principles of pavement design, and asphalt technology. It aims to equip delegates with the knowledge and confidence to undertake designs according to the latest standards. Intended for civil, highway, pavement, and transportation engineers involved in highway schemes, the course provides guidance on traffic assessment, pavement foundations, and surface course selection.

This 5-day course aims to provide accreditation to the standards set by City & Guilds under the New Roads & Street Works Act 1991 for excavation and reinstatement on public highways. It is designed for operatives involved in these activities and covers topics such as location of underground services, monitoring excavation and reinstatement procedures, and laying practices. The training includes practical assessments in a purpose-built road area and requires delegates to write reports. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as safety shoes, boots, and gloves is mandatory. The course offers flexibility in scheduling to accommodate clients' needs.

The "Asphalts for Optimum Asset Management Training" course aims to provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of road maintenance strategies. The course covers topics such as reasons for road failure, asphalt durability, surface treatments, footway treatments, patching techniques, recycling methods, skid resistance maintenance, and group exercises to identify and solve road issues. Led by experienced civil engineer Jeff Farrington, the course emphasizes practical knowledge and problem-solving skills for effective road asset management. Participants engage in group exercises to develop maintenance strategies and can seek individual guidance from the presenter.

The Roads Training course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of road pavement distress and premature surface course failure. It is designed for individuals involved in highway repair and maintenance or new construction, regardless of prior experience. The course covers topics such as pavement deterioration, asphalt basics, surface course selection, and practical exercises. Delegates receive course notes and e-mail support for two years post-course. The training concludes with hands-on exercises to address maintenance issues effectively.
