Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior PLAXIS experience to join?
No experience required. We start from the very basics of PLAXIS and build up to advanced tunnel modelling. A basic understanding of civil or geotechnical engineering is sufficient.
Are the sessions live or recorded?
Both. There are weekly live sessions for interactive Q&A plus recorded video lessons you can re-watch anytime. All session recordings are available for 12 months after the course ends.
I am a final-year student. Is this course for me?
Absolutely. Final-year students are among our most successful alumni. Completing this course before graduation gives you a significant edge in campus placements and off-campus applications.
Will I get PLAXIS software access?
We guide you on obtaining PLAXIS student licences and provide model files for all exercises. Enrolled students also get access to our institutional licence for the duration of the course.
How much time per week does this require?
Approximately 3–5 hours per week, depending on the batch schedule you are enrolled in. The program is designed to fit around the commitments of working professionals and busy learners.
Is there a certificate at the end?
Yes. Graduates receive a verified certificate of completion. More importantly, you will have a portfolio of PLAXIS models and a capstone project that employers find far more convincing than any certificate.
