Concrete Technology & Construction - Intermediate Level - Practical Applications

The course Concrete Technology & Construction - Practical Applications represents the second of two intermediate-level training schemes for all personnel involved in production, use or quality control activities associated with concrete.

As well as providing essential and up-to-date information for specifiers, producers and contractors, the course can prepare candidates, if they wish, for the examination leading to the recognized qualification Concrete Technology & Construction - Practical Applications awarded by the Concrete Society/ICT.

It is generally expected that candidates will have successfully completed the General Principles course. The modular approach is designed to enable those candidates intending to become qualified to commence the course in September and complete it in time for revision before the examination that is traditionally held in mid-May the following year.

The course fee is £1175 Sterling.
