external courses and seminars
We offer a range of civil engineering training courses as indicated below under broad subject headings.  Alternatively, the full course list may be downloaded here in pdf format.  Please note that our technical courses are split by level, to help you select the most appropriate course for your needs.
  • Civil engineering training courses
  • Diverse and large range
  • Run to suit you where possible
  • Restricted numbers to aid learning
We arrange courses throughout the year - you can download our latest calendar or contact us for details of upcoming courses. Additional dates can also be arranged as soon as we have sufficient interest, so please let us know of your interest by emailing us at enquiries@surepathtraining.co.uk

If a particular company wishes a course to be run in-house for their own staff alone, then this could be arranged. Please note we can also devise a course tailored to your needs based on our experience, so do contact us at enquiries@surepathtraining.co.uk if you have a specific need that you can’t see listed.

We aim to restrict course numbers to between 5 and 20 delegates to maximise contact time and thus afford delegates the best learning experience we can.

Day courses normally run from 9.00 am to 4.45 pm with a lunch break and refreshment breaks to suit delivery of the content.  Some courses have been developed too to provide the equivalent of 1.5 days learning in a single 'long day' - these have proven to be a great success as an alternative to two day courses as they offer a more cost-effective model to companies. 

All courses organised by Surepath will be booked in accordance with our standard terms and conditions, which will be provided with your course booking form.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
