Training Overview

Training Overview

The Coastal Engineering and Shore Protection Structures training course aims to give participants a comprehensive understanding of coastal engineering principles, methods, and best practices. It will cover various topics such as coastal processes, shoreline stabilization, and coastal defense structures. Additionally, the course will offer hands-on learning through case studies and site visits, applying theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios.

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
  • Understand coastal processes and their impacts on shorelines
  • Familiarize with the range of shore protection structures available, their design principles and applications
  • Acquire knowledge and skills required to design, implement and maintain effective coastal engineering and shore protection structures
  • Obtain practical knowledge of the techniques used in coastal engineering and shore protection structures

Who is this Training Course for?

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Engineers
  • Project managers
  • Technical staff involved in the design, implementation, and management of coastal engineering and shore protection structures
  • Professionals from government agencies, NGOs, and private sector organizations involved in coastal development and management

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This will include an interactive mixture of lecture-led learning & group discussions.
