Training Module Description
This course serves as a basic to intermediate level application of STAAD Pro software for
structural design of various types of structures. Participants are expected to have good grasp of
structural design engineering principles.

Each participant provided a dedicated PC with the necessary software loaded and the training
course will be a combination of PowerPoint presentations and interactive sessions. The
participants will also be given the opportunity to develop at least one project-specific deliverable
during the Training Programme.
