education programme 2014 01

The Concrete Institute is proud to announce that the

School of Concrete Technology (SCT) will continue

unchanged under the banner of the newly formed The

Concrete Institute (TCI). The new and independent TCI

has been structured to perform a much more technical

role in the concrete and construction industries.

As concrete is the most commonly used building material

on the planet, most of the infrastructure of modern

civilization has been built using concrete in some form

or other. Concrete, with its low embodied energy and

significant number of inherent characteristics which

contribute to sustainability of structures, is also the

ultimate material of the future.

For the concrete construction industry to remain

sustainable, specifiers, designers, producers and

contractors need to be competent and responsible. In

South Africa there is an urgent need for increasing the

number of skilled workers and technologists in concrete-

related industries. The School has taken up this new

challenge and is playing its part in keeping at the forefront

of concrete technology by continually upgrading its

courses to meet the needs of industry and to lead in the

dissemination of the latest trends in concrete technology.

Courses are available to address the needs from the

labourer to the engineer. To emphasize the quality of the

education provided, the Concrete Society of Southern

Africa (CSSA) endorses all the courses presented by the

SCT. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points

are available for selected courses. The School of Concrete

Technology uniquely offers a stepped approach to

concrete technology education. This is done by offering

courses on five different levels. So a candidate concrete

technologist can enter the School on a level appropriate to

his or her education and experience and then, over time,

progress to the higher levels.

The School will continue to run the prestigious and

internationally recognised Advanced Concrete Technology

course. SCT courses are the most recognised in the

concrete industry. Attending one of our courses could

open up many opportunities for you.

We look forward to seeing you on one or more of our

courses.

Courses are presented most frequently at The Concrete

Institute School of Concrete Technology in Midrand,

Johannesburg. Courses are also offered in Durban,

East London and Cape Town. Courses can be tailored

to accommodate specific clients needs and requirements

on request anywhere in South Africa.

The Concrete Institute courses are presented by experts

in their field. Appropriately, backed up by practical

demonstration in the The Concrete Institute training

laboratory.

The Concrete Institute is also able to offer instruction

on concrete to Universities in the form of lectures on

concrete technology.

Enrolment for commercial courses Complete and

sct 21 concrete industrial floors on the ground (1 day)

Concrete Technology & Construction - Concrete Practice

is the entry-level course intended for those starting in the

construction industry or for personnel already involved in

production, use or quality control activities associated with

concrete. The course will enable technicians, foreman,

clerks-of-works, operatives, batch plant supervisors and

concrete mixer operators/drivers, sales and technical

staff in the building and construction industry to achieve

a formal certificate in recognition of their success

in mastering the basic objectives of activities in the

concrete industry. It also serves as the first step for new

recruits heading for management in the technology of

concrete production. Successful candidates will obtain

a certificate from ICT and are eligible for ICT membership

as Technician Members and are entitled to use the

designatory letters TechICT after their names. Please

keep in mind that this is an internationally recognized

course and therefore based on the British Standards.

only. They are designed for persons employed in a

technical capacity, e.g. concrete technologists, civil

engineering technicians or engineers who wish to improve

their knowledge of all aspects of concrete. Institute of

Concrete technology (ICT) certificates are awarded to

successful learners. Both parts start in September 2013 of

each year. Registrations and examination registrations will

be accepted until 30 January 2014.

The course is available in two parts as:

SCT 42: Practical Applications (Part 2)

The examinations consist of one three-hour paper for each

course. Exams are written in Midrand only.

Learners wishing to write at their local British Council

need to make their own arrangements with their local

British Council prior to the exam. A separate examination

and management fee will be payable in advance by

the delegate to ICT. Contact the ICT for information on

registration and costs. The onus is on the delegate to liaise

with their local British Council.


Grade 12 with mathematics and science. For SCT 42 at

least one year of concrete construction site experience

is strongly recommended. SCT 30 is a prerequisite for

41and 42 unless approved by The Concrete Institute.

Optional revision workshops are held in Midrand only in

Technology, UK, to successful delegates.

sct 50 advanced concrete technology 2013 - 2014Equivalent to stage 4 offered by the Institute of Concrete Technology (ICT) based in London

The Advanced Concrete Technology (ACT) diploma enjoys

world-wide acceptance as the leading qualification in

concrete technology and is examined by the UK based

Institute of Concrete Technology (ICT). The ICT is a

Professional Affiliate Body of the UK Engineering Council

and it promotes concrete technology as a recognised

engineering discipline. It also sets high educational

standards and requires its members to abide by a code

of Professional Conduct, thus enhancing the profession

of concrete technology. The ACT course is run in South

Africa once every two years and over the past 23 years

73 delegates have passed the course and received their

diplomas. The next Advanced Concrete Technology (ACT)

course will commence in January 2014 with two exams

written in July 2014.

The target audience includes qualified and experienced

civil engineers, cement chemists, concrete technologists

and technicians involved in the building, construction,

precast concrete, mining, cement, aggregate, admixture

and ready-mix concrete industries.

Delegates who pass both three-hour examinations and

pass their research project will receive the Advanced

Concrete Technology Diploma. This qualifies them for

Corporate Membership of the ICT and, as corporate

members, they may write the letters MICT behind their

names and qualify for one years free membership to the

ICT of London.

Applications Please submit your application to the

Course organiser for the 2013 - 2014 course by

December 2013.

Recommended entrance requirements

An appropriate qualification in civil engineering or any

other appropriate branch of science or technology. A

pass in SCT 41 and SCT 42 is deemed an appropriate

qualification. Without these a qualifications, a learners

prior knowledge will be assessed by the Education and

Training manager before acceptance of registration.
