This BTS training course is suitable to a wide range of professional structural engineers who are interested in learning about offshore structure design, construction and maintenance:

  • Design structural engineers
  • Supervision engineer
  • Planners
  • Steel fabricator
  • Construction engineers
  • Project engineers

This training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative. The illustration will depend on videos and photos.

In addition to the traditional lecture delivery, the course delivery emphasizes the use of group discussions and actual design problems in order to ensure participants can put the newly learned concepts to use.
