CPD Seminars presented by Ancon Building Products

Designing for Joints in Structural Concrete
Ancon Building Products have been conducting Continuing Professional Development Seminars to the Construction Industry for over 20 years.
Their Seminars are designed to increase the knowledge of construction professionals on a range of structural components used in masonry and concrete.
Content is continually reviewed to ensure the Industry's latest construction methods, design codes and manufacturing capabilities are featured.
Our Seminars can be tailored to meet your requirements or selected as the standard format shown below. These Seminars are usually kept to within one hour, however, requirements for longer, more in-depth presentations can be accommodated.
Seminars are usually conducted at your premises over a lunchtime and can be accompanied by a buffet to make full use of the time available. Alternatively your CPD seminar can be held at Ancon's head office in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Here, the seminar can be accompanied by a tour of the company's manufacturing operations. Our conferencing and training facilities also feature a permanent product display area.
