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.

BESPOKE CDM COURSE FOR CAN

We had the pleasure earlier this month a running a bespoke version of our CDM course for CAN in Chesterfield.  It was tailored to deliver the core materials with group exercises, and incorporated too a workshop to review how the learning could be applied within the company to add to their existing health and safety culture. Feedback from the course was excellent.  Comments to date include “First rate” and “Really good course, plenty of coffee breaks so kept fresh!! :-)”.  If you feel your organisation would benefit from a bespoke course or series of half-day courses, then just call us to discuss your requirements and see how we could help you.

FUNDAMENTALS OF GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING

Our “Fundamentals of Geotechnical Engineering” course on 11 April 2019 went really well.  Feedback ratings showed it was rated at least good in all aspects, with 97% of the ratings very good or excellent.   As ever it was a long day, running up to 7.30pm, but the pizza delivery for tea went down well as can be seen below!  

POSITIVE CLIENT FEEDBACK ALWAYS APPRECIATED!

Following delivery of a bespoke version of our ‘Fundamentals of Geotechnical Engineering’ course in Burton-on-Trent for GRM Development Solutions in March, we were very pleased to see their post on LinkedIn here.  Such feedback is always appreciated. The GRM course was split into three half-day sessions and run for a group of 10 engineering geologists and environmental scientists.  If you feel your organisation would benefit from a short course or series of half-day courses, then just call us to discuss your requirements and see how we could help you.
