CPD Courses and Events

This course is designed to improve your understanding of contracts, covering contractual conditions, their legal framework and the management procedures needed to successfully complete projects. It follows the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) syllabus and prepares delegates for the ICE Law and Contract Management examinations in June 2027. Exam registration and payment are made directly with the ICE and are subject to an additional charge.

Live online sessions take place on Monday evenings from 6.30pm–8.30pm (GMT/BST), running until the end of June with breaks at Christmas, Easter, May and the Spring Bank Holiday. Revision evenings are also provided for delegates taking the ICE examinations.

Sessions are delivered live in a virtual training room, with interactive elements and opportunities for discussion. Delegates may be asked to have cameras on during some sessions. Please note that recordings are not provided, and attendance at the live online sessions is required.

This course is a continuation and expansion of the highly successful Microencapsulation short course previously delivered at the University of Leeds between 2012 and 2023.

This updated course provides a strong foundation in coating and encapsulation science and technology, with a clear emphasis on the development of more sustainable solutions. Delegates will gain both fundamental understanding and practical insight into how sustainability considerations are shaping current and future practice.

The course offers a programme of academic and industry collaboration, combining expert-led presentations with laboratory demonstrations. Delivered over 3.5 days, the course is structured into three complementary themes.
