The Online Risk and Reliability Training course is a 4-day program focusing on theoretical and practical applications of risk and reliability engineering. It covers topics such as risk analysis, reliability engineering, RAM analysis, failure distributions, and Monte Carlo simulations. Participants will learn to analyze engineering problems, interpret data, assess risk, and develop solutions for risk mitigation. Suitable for mechanical, process, and energy engineers, the course aims to provide applied knowledge in risk and reliability engineering methods.

The Online Geotechnics for Offshore Structures Training Course is a 2-day program focusing on geotechnical engineering for offshore structures. Led by experts Dr. Ana Ivanovic and Trevor Hodgson, the course covers topics such as soil characterization, foundation concepts, and design of mudmats and mooring anchors. Dr. Ivanovic's research background includes investigating marine pipelines and seabed influences, while Hodgson brings over thirty years of experience in offshore-related areas. Participants will gain insights into geotechnical analysis and design specific to offshore environments.

This course covers CDM requirements for designers and principal designers, with a focus on safe and healthy design in offshore wind projects. It explores life cycle risks, key safety standards (IEC, ISO, Machinery Directive), and risk assessment methods, including identifying, assessing, and documenting significant residual risks.

The Oil Industry Environmental Monitoring Training course aims to provide participants with knowledge and practical skills in monitoring and analyzing environmental data related to the oil industry. The course covers factors affecting data quality, water and air pollution, remediation of oil pollution, and practical sessions on microbiological and physicochemical testing. Participants will also learn about sampling techniques and report writing. The course includes lectures, practical sessions, demonstrations, and site visits to enhance learning.

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.

This training course offers an opportunity to learn about renewable energy systems (RES) and how to assess their feasibility at specific sites objectively. It covers various renewable energy technologies, benefits, constraints, financial incentives, and government policies. Participants will explore factors influencing RES choice, planning, and case studies. By the end of the course, delegates will understand energy basics, differentiate between renewable energy technologies, identify suitable technologies for different situations, and comprehend financial incentives and government commitments related to renewable energy production.

This one-day course focuses on the importance of sustainability in the business agenda for success in the 21st century. It explores the concept of sustainability as integrating economic, social, and environmental policies for a better quality of life. The course emphasizes resource efficiency and the need for organizations to become more eco-efficient by creating value with less impact, innovating, and meeting consumer demand for environmentally friendly goods and services. It also discusses sustainable development in the built environment and the role of construction professionals in meeting societal needs while harmonizing economic, social, and environmental growth.
