Course #1 - Leadership Training
This course is aimed at anybody who is in charge of a work team of any size.
The course is high on involvement and equips the participants to take the
concepts into the workplace and use them.
It is delivered in an inductive (experiential) format, which allows participants to
be totally involved in the learning process. Topics include:
Improving Performance, Communication, The Leader/Manager Concept, Building and
Maintaining Teams, Motivation, Conflict Management
Course #2 – Project Managers Toolbox
Project management is the use of leadership, planning, scheduling and control
techniques. Being an effective project manager today, means finding solutions
to complex and multifunctional activities, and utilizing the necessary leadership
skills to influence others to get the job done.
Topics include:
•
•
•
•
Negotiation Skills
Leadership & Team Skills
Time Management
11 Rules for Project Management
Course #3 – Supervisors Toolkit
Supervision is the use of leadership, to get the work done, on behalf of your
company in the constraints of time, budget and quality and to the satisfaction of
the client.
It also involves building your team, training and developing its members so that
they can achieve the outcome even when you are not there.
This highly interactive course will address four essentials to the supervisor:
- What you have to BE
- What you have to KNOW
- What you have to DO
- What you have to LEARN
Course #4 – Geo-mechanics for NZ roads
This course draws together the necessary soil investigation and geotechnical
procedures for roading construction and maintenance. It provides an up-to-date
overview of investigative techniques and analysis. Topics include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Geotechnical engineering and pavement design
Fundamental soil properties
Compaction
In-situ investigation and testing
Effects and control of water movement
Soil strength improvement
Course #5 – Aggregates for Pavement Construction
This course identifies the properties and characteristics of aggregates and
systems for quarrying, storage, selection and handling, so that these properties
are not altered and their quality remains consistent until placement in the
pavement. Topics include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Function of structural layers in a pavement
Selection of pavement aggregates - sealed and unsealed pavements
Role of clay minerals
Aggregate production and properties of the product
Storage, handling and compaction of aggregate for pavements
Use of marginal and low quality aggregates
Course #6 – Quality Pavement Construction
This course provides an overview of the theory and practice to assist team
leaders and supervisors/forepersons to manage construction in the field.
There is an increasing need for contracting firms to understand the issues
involved with pavement construction, especially material compaction. Topics
include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Excavation and identification of problem areas in subgrade
Treatment of poor subgrade areas to achieve strength requirements
