Learn from the experience of the teachers in a multitude of projects and interventions in Airport Pavements"

The content of this postgraduate certificate is intended to deepen the experience, projects and interventions in Airport Pavements of expert teachers in the field. In order to develop the student's critical sense to choose paving materials, detect errors and make correct calculations, a perfectly structured study plan has been devised. 

This program covers from the importance of pavement management throughout the life of the airport, to how to intervene or repair them, thus prolonging the useful life of the airport pavement. The study plan is approached from a theoretical and practical perspective, to encourage the application of learning to professional challenges.

This program also provides in-depth knowledge of the materials used to build esplanades, the calculation and design of pavements themselves, whether rigid or flexible pavements, and pavement inspection. In this sense, a catalog of the most common defects in an esplanade built with different types of pavements is presented.

This postgraduate certificate is offered online. Since all multimedia content is uploaded to the digital platform, it can be accessed whenever you want and have an Internet connection. In addition, it is taught with Learning by Doing methodology, in order to delve into the practical notions and that they can be applied to possible real professional challenges.

With the catalog of the most common defects of the esplanade, you will be able to determine, with critical sense, which is the defect of the pavement and how to solve it" 

This postgraduate certificate in Airport Pavements contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most important features include:  

• The development of case studies presented by experts in airport pavements
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

A complete program adjusted to the demands of the sector specialized in materials and Airport Pavements"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from sector who contribute their work experience to this educational program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the program. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.
