EARTHWORKS – PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE, 18 MAY 2015

Earthworks form part of most development projects, for example development platforms and highways.

This course will provide delegates with a good grounding in the theory and practice of earthworks. Starting with the typical forms of earthworks and design philosophy, the course will progress to cover key elements including the range and nature of specifications, defining appropriate acceptability criteria to achieve the required performance, monitoring and control in the field, and reporting and certification requirements. With easy access from the M1 or public transport, the course is running in Chesterfield on 18 May at a cost of just £220 plus VAT. If you require any additional information before making a booking on this or any other course then contact us at enquiries@surepathtraining.co.uk. Note too that all courses can be run bespoke for your company if there are sufficient numbers – just contact us by phone (01246 807808) or using the enquiries email address above for more details.

ESSENTIALS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT, 11 MAY 2015

The ability to manage projects for commercial success is a key attribute of all successful engineers. Aimed primarily at young consultants, junior project managers, and graduates pursuing professional qualification with institutions such as the ICE and IStructE, the course will examine what project management is and why it is needed, before introducing delegates to the importance of understanding project financing, contract requirements, and commercial risk. Thereafter the course will be taught by following a mock project from Client inception and definition of the brief, through the estimation and bid process, to project set-up and delivery. Each stage will be covered using mini-lectures to convey core material before delegates apply that learning through practical exercises. The course will conclude with a look at change control, and the importance of post-project reviews and the sharing of lessons learned. The course is next running in Chesterfield on 11 May at a cost of just £220 plus VAT. If you require any additional information before making a booking on this or any other course, please contact us at enquiries@surepathtraining.co.uk. Note too that all courses can be run bespoke for your company if there are sufficient numbers – just contact us by phone (01246 807808) or using the enquiries email address above for more details.
