Feedback from previous online course
'This is the first online course I have taken and I am impressed. I felt I could concentrate better sat listening in front of my computer than I can attending 'live' courses ... Andrew was very clear in everything he said and I had no problem at all understanding the points he was trying to get across'

Feedback from previous online courses
'This is the first online course I have taken and I am impressed. I felt I could concentrate better sat listening in front of my computer than I can attending 'live' courses, and I was also more inclined to ask questions/discuss content than is the case when attending 'live' courses.
Andrew was very clear in everything he said and I had no problem at all understanding the points he was trying to get across' - A.W., Soil Consultants
'Training was excellent as an introduction to the Eurocodes. Questions were answered in detail and clearly' -
J.L., Fairhurst
'Very useful ... need to read the book! Looking forward to site investigation series' - S.B., The Sirius Group
'It was a very good course. It was very educational, very [in]formative and enhanced [my] professional understanding of Eurocode 7. It has definitely whetted my appetite for Eurocodes ... Before the course, Eurocode 7 appeared at a distance but now it is well within my territory, a foundation to building my whole Eurocode 7 understanding. As a result I am looking forward to attending further Eurocode 7 courses. The workshops were excellent.' - R.B., Soils Limited
'Concise and generally clear and easy to take in' -
L.G., Arup
'My head is spinning - a lot of information to take in. I guess I'm going to be busy paging through EC7!' - D.P., University of Limerick
'... a good way of saving money' - M.P., Royal Haskoning'
'What I found particularly useful was the clarification on where we use partial factors in geotechnical design and where not. To be more specific, having worked in the past with Eurocodes for concrete and steel structures, I would have been inclined to use partial factors everywhere in geotechnical design as well!' - I.C., Aecom
