This training is for professional development and the certificate obtained does not replace the MYK (Turkish Qualifications Framework) Authorization Certificate in mandatory training programs requiring an MYK certificate.

Training Objective

The Concrete Technology Training offers participants the opportunity to specialize in the entire process of concrete, which is the fundamental building material, from production to application. Individuals who gain competence in proper mix design, quality control, and modern additive technologies gain an advantage in the construction industry, taking positions such as technical specialist, quality control officer, or site engineer. This training provides significant contributions both in terms of career development and structural safety.

The training is open to institutional collaborations (package for institution/company legal entities), and individual applications are not accepted. The training content can be reorganized according to your institutional participant profile and needs. As a result of mutual discussions, the scope and method of the training (face-to-face / online) are determined and the relevant processes are completed. In case of mutual agreement, the date, time, and location of the training are planned in line with the availability of your institution’s participants and our instructors.
