Training Courses

Attend one of CSC's excellent UK training courses, run by engineers who know how to get the best from our software. We provide nationwide training on the full range of CSC products either at your office, or at our own offices.

CSC training courses are limited to a manageable number of six people and every attendee is provided with their own computer to work on. This includes on-site courses where we can provide up to six laptop computers to facilitate complete hands on training in your office.

Upcoming training courses:

TEDDS Eurocode

Using the 'Eurocode' design calculations within the TEDDS design software is fantastic way for engineers to become familiar with these new codes. A series of example calculation can be run to investigate how the new code requirements affect the design of the key structural elements. Attendees on this course, should be familiar with the basic operation of TEDDS, and ideally should have attended the TEDDS standard day one training course.
For any engineer who wishes to use Eurocodes to design structures, attendance on this course would be extremely beneficial.

Prerequisites

None

Fastrak Building Designer Eurocode

The inclusion of 'Eurocode' design rules within the Fastrak building design software is a huge step, while much of the basic 3D modelling remains the same as the BS version there are many major differences in the design process which users must understand before attempting to use this version of the software.
For any engineer who wishes to use Fastrak Building Designer to design structures to the Eurocodes, attendance on this course should be considered essential.

Prerequisites

Fastrak Building Designer Day 1

Orion Eurocode

The inclusion of 'Eurocode' design rules with the Orion software is a huge step, while much of the basic 3D modelling remains the same as the BS version there are many major differences in the design process which users must understand before attempting to use this version of the software.
For any engineer who wishes to use Orion to design structures to the Eurocodes, attendance on this course should be considered essential.

Duration

1 Day

Prerequisites
