2 Professional Development with the IHE Highway Engineering Academy


Foreword by IHE President Jonathan Pearson

Welcome to our exciting new virtual Highway Engineering Academy. The IHE is alarmed by the skills shortage within the highways sector and we’re taking action to address it by establishing a one-stop-shop to provide highway engineers with a unique professional development facility.

The aim of IHE’s new Highway Engineering Academy is to train a dedicated workforce with the specialist skills and expertise the industry needs to build the UK’s road network. The Government’s National Infrastructure Plan for Skills published in September 2015 highlighted the scale of the UK’s projected skills gap in engineering.According to the report, the total projected expenditure in roads from 2015/16 to 2020/21 is forecast at £30 billion. With investment rising to nearly £6 billion per annum by the end of the decade, this equates to a workforce of over 60,000 people.

New technologies such as Smart Motorways have had an impact on the highways industry, which has historically drawn on traditional construction skills and this has resulted in the need for a broader range of engineering and technical skills to deliver the government’s future investment plans.

The HEA is free to all IHE members and Affiliates. Non-members may join as Affiliates for an annual fee of £59 per annum (2019 rates).


Highway Engineering Academy

The IHE has established a new training academy offering industry-led training in highway engineering. Either by distance learning, or through one of our specialist training courses, the academy will deliver the qualifications, skills and knowledge demanded by the highways industry and in short-supply today. The IHE hopes the Highway Engineering Academy will be a training hub for the next generation of highway professionals, and provide an opportunity for qualified engineers and technicians to undertake training to refine and upgrade their skill set for working within the highways industry. IHE’s new academy is intended to train a dedicated workforce with the specialist skills and expertise the highways industry needs to build the UK’s road network.

The HEA has five key objectives at its heart:

1. To create and signpost opportunities for new entrants in the sector by giving clear unambiguous advice on relevant training and Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

2. To encourage new entrants into the highway engineering sector particularly from school leavers, graduates, allied trades, complementary professions and groups currently under represented, including women.

3. To support existing highway professionals in career development via training and CPD with direct relevance to professional registration.

4. To commission and create new educational and training courses specifically aimed at highway engineers.

5. To raise the profile of highway engineers and get their career, skills and wider profession recognised in its own right and as one with equal status to complementary and contiguous professions such as civil engineering, transport planning, architecture etc.

The Highway Engineering Academy aims to address the skills gap within the highway engineering sector, and meet its objectives, by offering these activities:

• Recognised and academically rigorous qualifications in highway engineering disciplines through accrediting learning and training.

• Highways industry knowledge, expertise and skills, providing a life long career profile for highways practitioners.

• Monitoring and addressing highways sector skills needs through industry-led training to ensure students are getting the highways engineering skills employers want.

• Apprenticeship opportunities and hands-on experience.

• Pathways to Professional Registration by signposting quality highway professional development opportunities.

• Knowledge sharing with respected industry experts, promoting the highway engineering profession.

• Commissioning and promoting PGDip/PDCert in highway engineering subjects.

• Registers for competent highway engineers.

One day courses

The IHE Highway Engineering Academy offers specialist one day courses. These intense courses in specific fields of highway engineering are aimed at both private and public sector employees looking to rapidly upskill, or refresh, their knowledge in highway law and asphalt technology.

These popular courses are held throughout the UK regularly to provide a comprehensive review of the current requirements, law, technologies and practical issues. They are also designed to be interactive, with attendees encouraged to bring along specific problems they have encountered and would like our expert’s advice and opinion on.

Sharing best practice and experience are key to making highway engineering more effective and efficient. These courses are designed to do just that and are delivered by experts in their respective fields who use the benefit of their expertise to encourage learning and engagement from practitioners in the industry. All attendees receive a CPD certificate of attendance for the day.


Highway Law – Principles and Practice

This course provides an interactive general guide to highway law for Highway Engineers working in all spheres but it will be of particular interest to those in Maintenance, Design, Development Management and Public Rights of Way. Practical examples of different problems arising from the law will be addressed, including those from delegates if prior notification is given. This course will be run on a flexible basis in relation to the particular interests of delegates and questions raised, with opportunities for discussion and a closing Question & Answer session.

DeliveryThis course is 1 day in total duration.

Competencies• About Highways – History, legal theory, types (such as

Dedication/Adoption), ownership limits, lawful use drainage, trees, retaining walls

• Liabilities and Controls – Maintenance duties and liabilities, Protection – duties and powers development, inc. agreements Traffic Management, NRSWA

• Network Changes – CPO/SRO process for new/improved highways creation, extinguishment, diversion private streets, APC, accesses

• Public Rights of Way – Definitive map, modification, specific issues


Well Managed Highway Liability Risk

This course provides an interactive seminar for highway engineers and risk managers to learn about the revisions to the Highway Risk & Liability Guide, which was launched in March 2017.

Many significant changes to current practice have been made to current guidance and speakers from the editorial board will explain in detail the new guidance and will conduct workshops to assist in the development of the new Risk-Based Approach to highway service delivery.

This course is highly interactive, with working sessions which will consider the impact of current legislation, the procedures that need to be in place to comply with the legal requirements and the practical steps local authorities across the UK will need to take.



Asphalt for Highways and other paved areas

The course is designed to provide an invaluable understanding of asphalt technology. The confusing range of UK surface course asphalts have characteristics which make them suitable for specific uses. Binder course materials can be equally confusing as can base asphalts but all need to be understood to ensure roads and other pavements are built and maintained in the most cost effective manner.

Proprietary modified asphalts are sometimes used in areas where they are quite unnecessary but how would you know? Equally, how would you know where they are necessary? Roads can have vastly differing traffic and axle loadings, design speeds and sub-soil conditions. Some have been designed to recognised standards others have evolved from Victorian housing streets or even mediaeval lanes.

This short course enables delegates to select the optimum asphalts for pavement layers in both “evolved” and “designed” roads. It also looks at modified bitumens and explains where they are vital for the asphalt’s in-service integrity. Asphalt production methods, production problems affecting the durability of mixtures, their hot-bin storage, not always safeguarding their durability, and their transporting to paving sites are also examined. Both in transit and once on site, it is all too easy to ruin perfectly good asphalt. If there are problems, the course also provides outline guidance on sampling and testing.



Intelligent Transport Systems

This course provides an insight into the fast-changing landscape of Intelligent Transport Systems for Highway Engineers working in all spheres but it will be of particular interest to those working in Highway Authorities, ITS Consultants and ITS Companions.

The course sees presentations from Highway Authorities, ITS Consultants and ITS Companions on best practice and in developing and delivering Intelligent Transport Systems. These leading experts will give a detailed insight into the fields of operational services for ITS, cloud based systems, Smart Motorways, procurement, Flood Management Systems, building information modelling, Forth Road Bridge scheme and collaborative Traffic Management using ITS.



IHE Professional Certificates and Professional Diplomas

• Awarded by IHE appointed independent steering panels, which include representatives from various governing bodies, organisations and companies. They accredit skill and competency as a specialist highways practitioner and can provide evidence of competence to employers. The IHE competency statements are industry-tested and exemplify what practitioners are expected to know and deliver in the work place.

• Supported by structured training courses, which have been developed to provide specific training. The training courses are aimed at aiding individuals to gain the necessary knowledge and ability to support their application for a Professional Certificate or Professional Diploma.

• Offered in a wide range of specialist highway areas and all highway practitioners can apply. IHE membership is not required and there is no specific need for academic qualifications or professional grade. Applicants are required to complete assignments and/or a portfolio of evidence, which are compiled into a submission; they may also be required to attend an interview with appointed senior professionals.

• Achieved at two levels:

Certificate: Candidates will be able to demonstrate an awareness and knowledge of various core aspects.

Diploma: In addition to the above, candidates will need to be able to demonstrate their ability to solve problems and lead.

• Provide a foundation for national qualifications and, subject to demonstrating the appropriate academic qualifications and competency, can also contribute to an application for Engineering Council registration.


How do I Achieve a Professional Certificate or Professional Diploma?

Course Route A structured training programme will deliver the skills and information required for achievement of an IHE Professional Certificate or Diploma and this can also lay the foundation for Professional Registration.

Firstly, you should decide which level you wish to attain. The IHE offers qualifications at two levels through the course route – Certificate or Diploma. You will then need to attend the dedicated training course. All courses listed in this brochure are delivered throughout the year in the clean, contemporary setting of our Birmingham office space and meeting rooms. This centrally located venue in Birmingham Brindleyplace gives excellent connectivity across the UK. Courses are also run at our main London office, regionally and as an in-house option (see page 7).

You will receive a Certificate of Attendance with CPD just for attending the course. If you wish to apply for the Professional Certificate or Diploma, you will need to successfully complete all assignments and assessments. All Certificate level courses have an additional day set aside to make an application for EngTech Professional Registration for delegates who have successfully passed their Professional Certificate assignments and assessments to the required standard.

OR Knowledge Based RouteTo achieve the Professional Certificate or Professional Diploma at your chosen level you will normally be expected to attend the training course and successfully complete all assignments/assessments in each core competency module, together with a number of subject specific competencies, depending on which award you are looking to achieve.

Professional Certificates or Professional Diplomas can also be achieved by candidates who feel they have sufficient skills, training and experience and can demonstrate this by submitting an Individual Portfolio of Evidence, which documents how they have achieved the competencies required.

Full details of competencies, assessment and awards can be found on each individual course page and the course submission packs on the IHE Highway Engineering Academy website.

IHE Overview – The Institute of choice for highway engineers

About the IHEThe Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) is the UK’s only national professional Institute which puts specialist highway and traffic practitioners first. Our expertise extends to highway maintenance, traffic and transportation, road safety, highway design, traffic signal control, bridge maintenance, construction, development management and the public realm. We have been registering engineers and technicians under licence with the Engineering Council since 1972 and accrediting academic courses since 1989.

What we offerWe offer Professional Registration to our members in the three main national and internationally recognised status of engineering professional registration:

Engineering Technician Engineering Technicians (EngTech) apply proven techniques and procedures to the solution of practical engineering problems. They are technically competent and are often skilled practitioners working under the guidance of others but can sometimes be managing small teams. EngTech is the most appropriate grade of Professional Registration for practitioners working on the highway on work such as: highway maintenance, Temporary Traffic Management and highway reinstatement including road markings and linings. It is also suitable for highway practitioners working in office based roles such as: CAD technicians, application and administration of Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders (TTRO’s) and contract administration.

Incorporated EngineerIncorporated Engineers (IEng) maintain and manage applications of current and developing technology, and may undertake engineering design, development, manufacture construction and operation. They know ‘why’ as well as ‘how’ as well as holding a responsible position that requires them to exercise independent judgement, leading and managing teams.

Chartered EngineerChartered Engineers (CEng) develop solutions to engineering problems using new or existing technologies, through innovation, creativity and change and/or they may have technical accountability for complex systems with significant levels of risk. They lead or implement innovative or complex schemes taking the strategic view at all times.

Engineers and technicians need to undergo a Professional Review in order to achieve all of the above titles. In addition, they need to be a member of a licenced Professional Engineering Institute (such as the IHE) and supply a copy of their Continuing Professional Development to their Institute at periodic intervals for assessment by a Professionally Registered assessor.
