The NFATEC project will develop a two-part training programme, for Engineers in the Construction industry, involving a combination of self-learning and web-based tutor interaction. The programme will be aimed both at existing employees and recent graduates considering entry to the sector.Existing materials, developed through the previously funded Leonardo da Vinci project 'SSEDTA', will be adapted for open and distance learning (ODL) access and will be further developed by all project partners, with proposed web-based interaction allowing local, national & transnational interaction by both individual users and specialist tutors.Project results will be made freely available, in all partner languages (EN, FR, ES, EL, HU, DE & SK) via a dedicated project website and through existing national and transnational industry networks.Furthermore, industry representatives will be consulted both in the initial, consultative stages and beyond the development of the new materials, particularly as regards potential accreditation of the training programme and materials developed by the project.
