Projecto offers short 1 to 5 day courses in the engineering and project management areas. We provide our clients with highly experienced, qualified, professionally registered and knowledgeable experts. Most of our courses are immediately on offer and some can be tailor made on request from our clients.

We offer courses in the areas of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil/Structural engineering, project management, quality assurance and control and renewable energy technologies. Certificates are offered to the participants as proof of their continued professional development. All the course notes are also given to the participants in hard and soft copy for ease of reference in the future.

Projecto arranges comfortable and conducive conference rooms if the client does not have their own facilities. We also arrange refreshments, consumables and paid up parking for our clients.
