Do I need experience on roads before I do this course?
No, the course is aimed at general workers entering road construction as well as experienced crew members. It covers the basics of road layers, compaction and safety on live roads, so you start from the ground up. If you already work on roads, the course helps you understand why the sequence and checks matter.
Can you train at our road project site?
Yes, on-site training at client premises is a standard delivery mode, and roadworks suits it because crews train in the environment they work in. We can run the theory online and the practical sessions on site. We also train at our centres in Midrand and Durban. Send your location and crew size on email info@rehtraining.co.za for a quote.
