Training courses for professional development
In today’s ever-changing construction industry, it has never been more important to ensure you are up to date with current industry regulations, practices, trends and innovations.
Driven by increased urbanisation and climate change, surface water management and cable management are essential topics for the construction industry.
With a series of free Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and industry specific courses, we provide essential learning and knowledge to construction professionals, ensuring you can undertake professional development when and where you need it.
Continuous professional development is a commitment required by chartered bodies to develop your career and encourage lifelong learning. Some courses have been accredited by professional associations such as Engineers Australia (EA), Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) and Architectural Information Services (AIS).
Whether you work in design or construction, we have training to help further your learning.
Our training can be accessed in a number of different ways to suit your learning requirements; online, in-company, in-branch, or at our Australia-wide sales offices.
CPD Presentations
Trade Waste CPD
When we think about trade waste, there is a tendency to only consider grease traps, but it also includes the products that collect and transfer the trade waste.
This course provides an overview of the selection considerations for the collection of wastewater in drains, transfer through the pipe system and treatment in gravity grease traps.
Ideal for: Hydraulic Consultants, Kitchen Designers, Plumbing Consultants, Building Architects
