In the course of your working day, you probably spend a few hours writing. Most of us write scores of emails a day. Many of us write longer reports. This live online course provides simple tips that can be immediately used to improve your writing.

This live online course covers the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, and will provide a sound grounding in HSWA duties and responsibilities. The course covers both general duties on PCBUs and upstream duties on those carrying out design, manufacture or importing.

Risk is a universal phenomenon that affects all people in all activities that they may undertake. This course introduces a structured approach for the identification, planning, treatment and management of risk in an engineering context. Delegates will learn a structured approach to the risk management process.

The course will introduce the fundamental principles and some well-established methods of pile design and analysis of single piles and some of them can be applied without the use of complex computer software. The course content will cover the most relevant aspects of pile design for single piles (e.g. axial, lateral, down drag, rock sockets). We will also discuss some practical examples and case studies to demonstrate the ‘real world’ applications of the course content.

Business continuity is an essential and important consideration in the face of potentially disruptive forces. This course presents a structured approach to the identification of potential disasters and planning for minimum disruption and recovery of the business.

Many engineers who are strong in the technical field find themselves in leadership roles that previous technical success hasn’t prepared them for. This course will introduce ‘coaching basics’ as a tool to support effective leadership growth and performance
