Develop your structural engineering skills to assess damage and make informed decisions on whether to repair or dismantle damaged buildings
RedR UK is offering a free-of-charge, innovative, high-quality online training course aiming to provide structural engineers in Syria and Türkiye the tools, skills, and knowledge to better assess damages and make informed decisions on whether to repair or dismantle a building or seek expert advice.
The facilitated module uses participatory methods and it is expected that learners will participate in discussions and activities in order to deepen their understanding of the concepts that are discussed. Participants will be offered opportunities to share relevant personal experiences and reflections to benefit their own and others' learning.
