About the School of Consulting Engineering

The School of Consulting Engineering was founded by CESA in 2000.

The School aims to provide the opportunity for Consulting Engineers, their staff, their clients and other interested parties in the Built Environment to enhance their business, professional and entrepreneurial skills.

All training is interactive and participative. The methodology is designed to achieve maximum group participation. It allows delegates to take away real practical skills, rather than just theoretical knowledge.

The annual training programme comprises of seminars, workshops, short courses and skills programmes, which are developed to meet the specific requirements of the industry and are held all over the country.

If your company has more than 10 people wanting to attend a particular course, a dedicated in-house training course can be arranged at a time convenient to you. In addition to receiving a special group discount it also saves on travel time and is an excellent intellectual team building exercise, giving companies the ability to work with and discuss confidential company data.
