respected Advanced Concrete Technology diploma course with examinations set by the Institute of Concrete Technology in London. Successful students for all SCTs courses receive certificates of attendance/competence and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points are awarded on certain courses. Roxburgh says two courses to be offered by SCT in 2022 should strongly be considered by South African municipalities: “SCT20 Concrete Practice” and “SCT30 Concrete Technology”. Both regularly attract strong enrolment, calling for several presentations every year. “The four-day ‘SCT20 Concrete Practice’ course is excellent for those applying concrete technology on site such as foremen, supervisors, and for staff responsible for quality assurance. Successful completion of this course earns four Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points. The more advanced ‘SCT30 Concrete Technology’ five-day course – which earns five CPD points – is aimed at civil and structural engineers, experienced technicians and technologists, and is ideal for gaining detailed knowledge of how cement and concrete works.” The School of Concrete Technology will continue to run its successful online e-learning courses in 2022 but will also offer select classroom-based lecture courses in Midrand, Durban and Cape Town while COVID-19 lockdown restrictions permit. “The live classes will be kept small and high demand for specific courses will be met by scheduling more presentations. However, the online platform and self-study courses are here to stay as they align themselves with modern trends in remote learning and increased access to both data and smart delivery devices. E-learning and its associated benefits will form an integral part of the School’s training in future which means local government in even the most remote parts of the country can now enrol staff for training,” he adds. Pigmented concrete bus lanes were innovatively specified for Cape Town’s MyCiti public transport system.
