SEABC - Certificate In Structural Engineering Program 3

[P205]

Does anyone here have experience taking these courses either auditing, or taking 12 courses and getting the certificate? Did you find it was worth it?

I feel like these are the types of courses I should be taking to bring my knowledge to the next level and would just like to hear from those who have done it.

Just as an addendum to what I said back in April, it should be noted that these are Canadian courses. So if you are not Canadian you have to be prepared to work with that fact that they use Canadian codes as the basis. This generally isn't a big deal, but there's obviously going to be some focus on fiddly areas of Canadian codes on rare occasions and you might not get a lot out of the class about Canadian and British Columbian seismic history and modelling that's in every earthquake course.

That being said, the courses are generally more in the "this is how you engineer things" area of knowledge than "this is how you use the code" area. The codes are also generally similar enough that you could work it out if you wanted to.

I've taken a number of american courses over the years and it's never been too much of a big deal.
