WEBSITE UPDATED WITH NEW COURSE INFORMATION AND CALENDAR
We are pleased to advise that the Surepath Training website has been updated to include a new list of courses and the calendar of courses for 2025. Some of the pages have been tweaked too – please feel free to browse the refreshed site!
If you see anything is of interest, please contact us for more information – just email us using the Contact page.
WEBSITE UPDATE AND NEWS ON SERVICE UPDATES FOR 2025….
If you have visited our site much, you will have seen it has not been updated since 2022. That is all about to change so watch out for updates to the courses we offer, updates to prices (a little), and information on a new geotechnical mentoring programme.
Some of you will be wondering why we let the site stagnate, which is a fair question. It is quite simply because, post-covid, interest in open courses seemed to wane in favour of bespoke courses, and we have been busy delivering numerous such through word-of-mouth commissions. We also increased our mentoring workload significantly in a similar way, so the website sat there.
Looking forward, we are aiming to keep developing the bespoke course and mentoring element, and to build-up the open-course programme again. Watch this space for website updates and more news on our services for 2025 in the coming days and weeks…..
In the meantime, please still do contact us for more information on the courses and mentoring support services we offer – just email us using the enquiries link.

BESPOKE GEO COURSE FOR EEG
We had a great day yesterday delivering a ‘fundamentals of geotechnics’ course to a great group in Earth Environmental & Geotechnical Ltd. Delivered in Stockport, it was another of our ‘long day’ courses that fits 1.5 days of learning into a session that ran from 0830 to 1930. There were regular breaks to keep everyone fresh, and this showed in the way the whole team stayed focused and met the challenges head on!
Our thanks to Adam Czarnecki for inviting us in. He has already posted about it himself on LinkedIn – which you can check out here.
If you feel your organisation would benefit from a bespoke course then just call us to discuss your requirements and see how we could help you.
