Advanced Concrete Technology for Durable and Sustainable Civil Infrastructure
Renewable Energy & Sustainability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
This course consists of several workshops that provide state-of-the-art knowledge on durable and sustainable concrete, including mineral additions and chemical admixtures that enhance the workability, strength, and durability of concrete. The workshops will also enhance the decision-making process regarding various concrete products, construction procedures, and performance test methods. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Advanced Concrete Technology for Durable & Sustainable Civil Infrastructure.

How long are renewable energy and sustainability courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa renewable energy and sustainability courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can renewable energy and sustainability training be delivered in-house for our team?
Yes.
