Synopsis
 The University of Cape Town has organized a series of courses on Eurocode 7 to be delivered by Dr Andrew Bond in four cities in South Africa in 2011. Based on Geocentrix's popular 'Decoding Eurocode 7' courses delivered in the UK, this is the third year that Eurocode 7 training has been available in South Africa.
These courses complement the successful set of courses on ENs 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993 that the University ran in 2007, 2008, and 2009 and will be repeating in 2011.
