Who should attend
These are continuing education courses for practitioners, taught by practitioners. The emphasis is on why and how. Most lecturers are major players in their area of expertise. The practical application of the course content is safeguarded by the use of case histories and workshops. The setup of these courses focuses on international participants, such as:

• engineers, geologists and technicians who are involved in the geotechnical aspects of planning, design and construction
• project managers and other decision makers who are concerned with ground related construction projects, safety and risk management
• operators and staff of government, principals, contractors and geotechnical consultants who want to upgrade their knowledge in these areas.

Procedure
The courses consist of presentations, lectures, discussion sessions and workshops, all in English. Several companies will present their tools and equipment.

Certificate
We provide a certificate of participation after completion of the course.
