    The Basic Reinforced Concrete course was informative and valuable in refreshing my fundamental knowledge of reinforced concrete design and construction principles. It strengthened my understanding of reinforcement detailing, structural behaviour, and relevant engineering standards. The course also supported my continuous professional development and enhanced my technical knowledge applicable to engineering quality assurance and design reviews.
