"Brilliant course. Very informative", DR
"Very well organised and planned. Relevant information given in a coherent manner. Took the time to explain concepts and answer questions. Workshops were very useful. Thanks very much!", KB
"The training was very good. It is a very difficult subject to teach, but the slides and the format were precise and clear", KK
"I found it very informative with an excellent level of delivery. The workshops were essential for me to understand the concepts", HR
"Very useful. Well presented. Some very high level principles that were well explained", OM
"Excellent - clear, concise delivery with appropriate notes to follow", JB
"The training was in depth and spoke more about the basic geotechnical design. I was finding it a great learning as i never went so depth into concept", TX
"High quality, detailed and extremely helpful training", JB
"Really appreciated the course, simplifying a complicated topic concisely and expanding well on its tricky bits", OH
April 2024
"The training was well structured, informative and delivered with expertise alongside useful real-life examples or scenarios; these help provide context especially where new concepts were being presented"
"The ... course was of an appropriate level and engaging. Was good to be able to hear first hand from somebody involved with the codes what is to be expected with 2nd Gen and what the key differences are"
"Andrew is clearly very knowledgeable about the Eurocode regarding geotechnical design and this course does a great job of presenting the key information & ideas that we should be aware of. The way the course was timetabled (i.e. 6x 90 min lectures over 2 weeks) was ideal for me as it meant my normal working week was barely disrupted. It also provided me with sufficient time to reflect on the course material between lectures. Each lecture also began promptly at the advertised start time. Some of the mathematics was slightly too much for me to understand/take in at first glance, however, I’m sure when I go back over the notes it will become clearer"

"Informative, well structured, conveying of the main points and definitions were done well"
"It was a very formative course and provided the required details for changes in Eurocode 7 Rev2"
"It was very informative. I work in the Dredging and Reclamation industry with my focus being more towards geotechnical investigations (particularly nearshore) and ground improvement methods. I'm trying to involve with design of marine structures and I believe this course will give an insight to understanding design approaches and load combinations"

"Absolutely excellent. Content was very useful and informative. Lecture slides and workshop sheets very clear and well presented. Andrew was very friendly and helpful when answering questions"
"Very informative series, looking forward to the next."
"The training was useful and clarified the use of Eurocodes in approach to design calculations. When beginning design calculations, I will now have an awareness of which Eurocodes and partial factors to use"
"Excellent. One of the best courses I have been on in my professional career"
"Quite informative regarding understanding the principles of the EC. Presenter has a great deal of knowledge in the area. The information was quite broad ... though it is my understanding there are other modules which go into specific areas in detail"
"Very informative and useful. Clearly presented with important points/pitfalls highlighted"
"Very useful, for someone who has not encountered the Eurocodes previous[ly], this has been a very good introduction to the Eurocode. Particularly [great] for highlighting some of the more important points like references to standards outside the Eurocode"
"The course on the whole was very good at bringing together all the different elelents of EC7 part 1. The training was well structured and well presented ... Overall I enjoyed the course and feel that it was time well spent"
"Excellent. Very interactive. Enoyed it"
"A good introduction to Eurocode 7 and a basis from which to learn more, thanks"
"The course has given me a much clearer understanding of exactly what is involved in 'designing in accordance with the eurocodes'. I now feel much more confident in being sure I have carried this out correctly"
"Very well presented, useful information, best I've had Eurocode design explained"
"... presenter was very knowledgeable and used good worked examples to show how applying different partial factors at different points in the calculation can influence the outcome"
"I really found it useful ... to have a broad idea of the Eurocode system and how the values, equations and standards were developed. I would recommend it to others"
"... very effective to understand the basics of EC7 and its links with other codes ... Presenter deeply understands the subject and answers the technical questions fluently. Really liked the intro to the EC system ... am looking forward to doing more"
"Suited my needs perfectly"
''Well Informed and interesting lecturer"
"An excellent up to date summery of the code with thorough summaries of the different parts and their requirements"
"An interesting and thoroughly relevant course that I shall be recommending ... without hesitation"
"I have attended a similar training day but this was far better - clear, good pace, and challenging"
"Good content, excellent course materials"
