Local Government technical staff must keep up to date with advances in the design, construction and maintenance of road pavements.
The Centre for Pavement Engineering Education (CPEE) is currently accepting applications for the Graduate Certificate of Pavement Technology and Master of Pavement Technology for study period 1 in 2008. The courses, which are very practical, encourage direct application of the skills and knowledge acquired.
The application of learnings to problems in the workplace is facilitated by the distance education format, which does not entail attendance at a university. There is no requirement for candidates to attend face to face sessions.
The four unit Graduate Certificate in Pavement Technology and eight unit Master of Pavement Technology can be tailored to suit the needs of individuals wishing to update their knowledge or to become more productive in the workplace.
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.
To receive a CPEE Information Pack in time for 2008 enrolments in November, email cpee@aapa.asn.au and mention Local Government FOCUS.
