CITY & GUILDS Concrete Technology & Construction – General Principles
The City & Guilds course Concrete Technology & Construction – General Principles represents the current entry-level training scheme 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 examination leading to the recognized qualification Concrete Technology & Construction – General Principles awarded by the City & Guilds of London Institute.
No previous experience is required and 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.
Candidates are free, however, to proceed at their own pace.
A dedicated pre-programmed laptop computer is available to keep if required.
The course fee is £1825 Sterling with the laptop or £1175 without.
