CPD Courses and Events

Join the 50th Anniversary Edition of the Chemical Plant Commissioning short course (1–3 July 2026) at the University of Leeds. Approved by the Institution of Chemical Engineers, this intensive course blends industry-led insight with practical exercises to strengthen your expertise in plant commissioning, start-up, and best practice across process industries.

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.
