Global Synthetics: Supporting you with Continuing Professional Development Programs

With the constant release of new geosynthetic products, and best practices that are frequently revised and updated, you need to keep your skills sharp to make sure you land the most lucrative projects.

CPD programs for professionals working with geosynthetics

Whether you are an engineer, contractor, designer or project manager, keeping up to date with new developments in the field of geosynthetics is a must.

Not only will this ensure you’re able to specify and deliver the most effective and reliable solutions for your projects, but it will ensure you stay ahead of the curve in your career.

How to stay ahead of the curve with professional development

The best way to continue learning throughout your career is by participating in CPD programs from both recognised tertiary institutions and reputable manufactures and suppliers.

Of course, it’s in the manufacturers best interest to showcase their latest engineering developments, so many suppliers including Global Synthetics ensure we can bring these cutting edge developments to our customers.

By inviting globally recognised experts from manufacturers such as Propex and Afitex to get involved with webinars and geosynthetic education programs, we’re helping to lift the knowledge of the industry, connecting manufacturers at the coalface of geosynthetic design with professionals in the field who routinely use geosynthetics in road, rail, waste management, landscaping and erosion control applications.

Keeping abreast of new products, techniques and installation methods will ensure that you’re well placed to deliver the best solutions for your clients.
