Metsec has launched the first of a series of web-based seminars aimed at providing specifiers with essential support in fulfilling their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements.
The new webinar covers lattice beams and provides information on their manufacture, specification and use in a variety of building situations.
The new webinar is based on Metsec’s hugely popular and successful seminar programme, which has been created in conjunction with the Construction CPD Certification Service to ensure that it satisfies the needs of the various professional bodies in the construction industry, including those for architects and structural engineers.
The webinar presents material in a clear, logical sequence, but also allows participants to study the course information at their own pace by providing navigation which facilitates pause, rewind and forward functions. Once study of the seminar material is complete, the student undertakes a multiple choice question and answer session, the successful completion of which results in the attainment of a personalised CPD certificate delivered to the student by email.
Commenting on the webinars, Darren Bird, technical director at Metsec’s Lattice Division, states, “Our seminar programme across all Metsec products has been very well received with architects and engineers throughout the construction industry, but as greater pressure is placed on professionals, fitting a CPD seminar into their busy schedules can be challenging. Our new webinars seek to remedy this by making the seminar material constantly available through our website in a CPD format, allowing participants to attend the course at a time that is convenient to them, at the office, at home or on the move.”
The lattice beam webinar will form the blueprint for a series of web-based seminars covering all Metsec products which will be rolled out over coming months. They can be viewed at the company’s website www.metsec.com.
