Quick answer
What is the Concrete Works course?
This course covers concrete from mix design to finished surface. Learners practise mixing concrete to the right proportions, placing and compacting it in formwork, and finishing, curing and protecting surfaces. The training also covers quality checks, slump testing basics, and the safe handling of concrete and admixtures on site.
