As part of its commitment to continued professional development, the Association of Building Engineers (ABE) has launched its 2012 prospectus of training and development opportunities. Featuring a range of established courses, including fire safety, structural design, management of buildings, and regulations and control, the prospectus also includes new courses on sustainability, structures and maintenance.

Qualifications vary from half day CPD events or NVQs to Bsc(Hons) degrees, and two modules – on demolition and the changes to Part L of the Building Regulations – have been introduced through online learning.
