The year keeps rolling on and Easter is almost already upon us already. We have several courses coming up in April, including:
Retaining wall design to EC7 on 19 April
CDM 2015 – Two Years On on 25 April
Slope Stability – Principles and Practice on 27 April
We are also repeating our half day course on GI design to EC7 in late April – date TBC.
Each course is running in Chesterfield. Discounts are available for group bookings or delegates attending more than one course. Please call or email us to reserve your place on a course.
We are pleased to announce that our course calendar for 2017 is now available on the website – just click on “Download Our Calendar” link on the left sidebar or click on this link to access your own copy in a new window.
We hope the expanded list of courses offered as ‘open’ courses rather than just bespoke will be welcomed and will aid the planing of your staff development activities. Remember discounts are available for group bookings or delegates attending more than one course. Please call or email us to reserve your place on a course.
We already have several bespoke course commissions for January 2017, and to complement them we are pleased to announce our first public courses in January are also open for bookings. Each is running in Chesterfield on the following dates:
Earthworks – Principles and Practice, 26 January 2016 (£220 + VAT)
The course will start from a review of the typical forms of earthworks and will emphasise the need to clearly understand and integrate the design and construction aspects. Key elements to the design of fills will then be addressed including the range of specification types, acceptability criteria, monitoring and control of earthworks, and reporting and certification.Shallow Foundations and Settlement – Principles and Practice, 31 January 2016 (£220 + VAT
This revamped course for 2017 has a greater emphasis on settlements than previously, with minimal content on piled foundations. It will begin with a review of how foundations are built and fail, before considering bearing capacity and how it is assessed in principle and, in brief, to EC7. It then focuses on methods of estimating the settlement of shallow foundations. The course will culminate with the application of the learning to case studies.
Discounts are available for group bookings or delegates attending more than one course. Please call or email us to reserve your place on a course.
We have a few spaces remaining on the following courses running in Chesterfield in December 2016.
Structural Steelwork Design to Eurocode 3, a two day course running on 2 & 9 December 2016 (£395 + VAT)
This two-day course will provide delegates with the opportunity to learn how to apply EC3 in design. The course will begin with an overview of the Eurocodes and EC3 in particular, before looking at the basis of structural design to EC3. The main focus of the course will be on design practice using beams, columns, and tension elements as the main design topics.
Earthworks – Principles and Practice, on 5 December 2016 (£220 + VAT) – NOTE DATE CHANGE FROM CALENDAR
The course will start from a review of the typical forms of earthworks and will emphasise the need to clearly understand and integrate the design and construction aspects. Key elements to the design of fills will then be addressed including the range of specification types, acceptability criteria, monitoring and control of earthworks, and reporting and certification.Mentoring for Civil Engineers on Engineering Geology, 1.5 day equivalent course on 13 December 2016 (£295 + VAT)
The geological content of modern civil engineering degree courses is often quite limited and engineers often need to develop their geological appreciation in practice. This course covers the fundamental of geology, discusses geological mapping and the major geological units in the UK, and considers the major hazards and risks presented by geological features to civil engineering projects.
Discounts are available for group bookings or delegates attending more than one course. Please call or email us to reserve your place on a course.

Surepath Training are pleased to announce that they have been commissioned to deliver a bespoke programme of Eurocode related courses for a contractor at their offices. The course will include elements of EC0, EC1, EC2, EC3 and EC7. Starting from a permanent works perspective, design requirements to satisfy the codes will be addressed using a combination of presentations, worked examples, and discussions. With the aid of a specialist temporary works designer, the course will later move on to examine the application of the codes to temporary works problems selected by the client.
If you have a group of people needing training in this or any other skill area then contact us to discuss how we may be able to design a course to suit your needs and add value to your service provision.
Following the success of a previous programme of courses in 2015 for a site investigation company, Surepath Training have been commissioned to extend the programme to provide bespoke geotechnical training to meet their ongoing and developing needs. The course will be provided through workshops held at their offices. The content includes a reprise of basic soil mechanics, ground modelling and parametric assessment, and aspects of foundation design (shallow and piled).
