This entry-level qualification for Concrete Practice is provided by the Institute of Concrete Technology (ICT).
On behalf of the ICT, the Concrete Society administrate the Stage 1: Concrete Practice examination.
Special care must be taken when concrete is cast in cold weather. The course provides practical guidance on design and site prevention measures for concreting in cold weather. The course covers specifying, placing and damage prevention measures and looks at both early age ‘frost’ and long term ‘freeze-thaw’ damage mechanisms.

This course provides an overview of different methods of concrete transport and placing methods, best practice in compacting and finishing, and the influence of concrete mix design.
The course comprises two sessions that are run on concurrent mornings. Completion of the course requires attendance at both sessions.
As a stand-alone course, it is a perfect introduction to the basics of concrete technology and practice. The course is also the ideal preparation for the Institute of Concrete Technology’s Stage 1 Concrete Practice examination.

This free technical webinar is an introduction to the constituents of concrete and their impact on concrete strength, durability, handling and placement. The presentation will also cover the terminology used, for example: cement and concrete are not the same thing!
This course provides an introduction to assessing hardened concrete for strength for both new and existing structures. The focus of the course is core testing, reference is also made to other indirect non-destructive testing (NDT) methods.
This course provides an introduction to identity testing on site and producer conformity testing for compressive strength using test cubes.
