Local Government technical staff must keep up to date with advances in the design, construction and maintenance of road pavements and their asset management and environmental impacts.
A unique and targeted educational offering (now in its 13th year) is provided by the Centre for Pavement Engineering Education (CPEE).
The application of learnings to problems in the workplace is facilitated by the distance education format, which does not require candidates to attend face to face sessions.
Applications are currently being accepted for the CPEE
four unit Graduate Certificate in Pavement Technology and
eight unit Master of Technology in Pavements, both of which can be tailored to suit the needs of individuals wishing to update their knowledge or become more productive in the workplace.
The units of study are very practical and encourage direct application of the skills and knowledge acquired.
Technical staff employed in Local Government can gain valuable qualifications in as little as 12 months and be able to apply what they learn directly to their day to day activities.
Also offered throughout Australia is a range of targeted
two to three day short courses on such topics as surface treatments, maintenance, rehabilitation, pavement design, road asset management, pavement management, road and street lighting and project management.
