The Online Advanced Design of Ship Structures course focuses on the first principle design of ship structures, including advanced analysis procedures for beams and plates. It covers the ultimate strength of hull girders, progressive collapse analysis, and common structural rules. The course is designed for engineers, scientists, and personnel from ship-related industries, offering a balance of theory and practice. Lectures cover topics such as deterministic and probabilistic design, hull girder strength, and reliability-based design. The course is led by Professor Purnendu Das and spans two days.

The Online Hydroelasticity of Ship and Offshore Structure Training course focuses on the study of ship hydroelasticity for large vessels, emphasizing the importance of predicting wave-induced loads and vessel responses for designing and calculating large vessels' structures. The course targets engineers, scientists, ship management personnel, oil companies, classification societies, and shipbuilders. It covers topics such as basic hydrodynamics, seakeeping, and various methods for addressing hydroelasticity theory over a 2-day duration. Led by Dr. Ranadev Datta, the course offers a balance of theory and practice for practical application in the field.

The Virtual Cycling Infrastructure Design Training course is now offered through distance learning due to COVID-19. It covers designing safe and convenient cycling infrastructure in urban areas, emphasizing policy understanding, network planning, stakeholder engagement, and infrastructure maintenance. The course targets traffic and highway engineers and professionals involved in planning and street design. Topics include UK cycling policies, international best practices, network planning, stakeholder engagement, infrastructure design, and maintenance.

The CITB Setting Out Training course teaches the principles of setting out for various construction areas. It covers site levelling, total station training (manual and robotic), and further robotic total station training. Participants learn to record work accurately, set up equipment, create local coordinate systems, and manage data.

Geotechnical Design Training covers key topics such as Eurocodes, EC7, partial factors, soil parameter selection, foundation design, retaining wall design, earth pressures, and more. The course aims to provide participants with the knowledge and skills needed for geotechnical design in accordance with EC7 standards. It includes practical examples and workshops to enhance learning. The training is offered in various locations in Scotland and the UK, with both onsite and offsite options available.

The Nuclear Power Plant Training course is designed for civil engineers interested in understanding seismic design related to nuclear power plants. The course covers basics of generating electricity from nuclear reactions, components in a nuclear installation, safety systems, seismic design, geotechnical aspects, and waste disposal. Lectures are delivered by experts in geomechanics, structural engineering, and computational mechanics to provide in-depth knowledge on the challenges and design considerations of nuclear power plant infrastructures.

Geotechnical Design Training is a one-day course focusing on acquiring the right laboratory and field tests for projects. Participants will learn to ask the right questions, specify appropriate tests, and interpret design data accurately. The course covers common engineering design situations, testing methods, and the importance of Ground Investigation Reports. It is designed for civil and structural engineers, geotechnical professionals, project managers, and clients. Sessions include making decisions, specifying tests, understanding investigation reports, and discussing legislation. The course is led by a geotechnical expert with extensive industry experience.

This course will enable the participants to understand the unique problems associated with process plant commissioning and how to establish a basis for anticipating and minimising the effects of these problems.
