Law for Civil Engineers

Our law course for the Certificate in Commercial Management has now been completely revised by Hamish Mitchell, with assistance from Julie Beisner. To complete the Certificate, you need to take four courses chosen from five.
The revised law course is in two modules: Part A deals with general law, with an emphasis on civil engineering where appropriate, including Law of Tort, while Part B deals with industrial law, matters such as health and safety, waste regulations and insurance, again of course from a civil engineering perspective. The course comprises 10 study sessions and 7 tutor-marked assignments.
The course ensures that you will have a good foundation in law before you go on to study C Eng Contracts and other specialised topics at Diploma level. It can also be usefully studied by anyone working in construction who needs to gain a wide practical understanding of law.

Congratulations

Our congratulations to Rodica Petrea who has completed all five book-keeping exams to qualify for Membership of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers. Rodica enrolled in August and passed all the exams - Level I, Level II Manual Bookkeeping, Level II Computerised Bookkeeping, Level III Manual and Level III Computerised Bookkeeping - with distinction grades by the end of November. We think this is a record! (Her course work was pretty good too.) As a result, Rodica has been awarded an ABCC Certificate of Merit (see http://http://www.homestudy.org.uk).
Rodica is 23 and from Moldova. Her success was due to her own hard work and determination but she also has a pat on the back for her Tutor, Ray Taylor, whom she describes as 'the best tutor ever'.
We wish Rodica continued success in her career.
