Online Civil Engineering Courses

Who are iLearn Engineering^®?

iLearn Engineering^® as a UK Accredited Online Engineering College specialising in providing online engineering courses for the next generation of engineers on an international scale. Our courses have been developed from the ground up and are specifically created so they can be delivered online.

We have one of the widest ranges of Online Civil Engineering Courses Anywhere

At iLearn Engineering^®, our online civil engineering courses aim to propel your engineering career to greater heights. We offer a diverse range of online civil engineering courses to cater to different academic and career goals. Our courses are available in varying credit values, ranging from 40 credit Engineering Diplomas to 120 credit Higher International Certificate in Civil Engineering and 240 credit Higher International Diploma in Civil Engineering. These courses cover various topics such as design, civil structural analysis, civil engineering projects, construction methods and materials, engineering management, civil engineering infrastructure and renewable energy. Our learners can choose the course that aligns with their interests and needs, and they can also progress through different levels of study, from certificate to diploma

What Online Civil Engineering Courses do you offer?

In our online civil engineering courses you will learn about engineering design, civil structures (both buildings and infrastructure), forces, stress and strain in structures, engineering management, materials science and sustainable construction. In addition you will cover the fundamental maths and science that underpin engineering as a whole.

We have a wide range of fully accredited Civil Engineering online courses:

Engineering Diplomas:

(40 credits)

Civil Engineering Qualifications

We have a range of fully accredited online civil engineering courses.

Higher International Certificate in Civil Engineering (EduQual Level 4) [120 credits]

This online civil engineering course has a total of 120 credits meaning that it is benchmarked to be equivalent to a full year of undergraduate study. Moreover, being a Level 4 civil engineering course means that it is benchmarked to the first year of a university degree course in civil engineering.

Most students are eligible to enrol directly on to this course because we teach you all the maths and science that you need to be successful with the rest of the course.

Higher International Diploma in Civil Engineering (EduQual Level 5) [240 credits]
This higher online civil engineering course develops your knowledge in civil engineering at a deeper and more specialist level and once completed you will become eligible to apply to universities to top-up your qualification to degree level.
Students working on a part time basis can typically complete these courses in a time frame of between 1 and 3 years. However, you are in control of your own learning, and it is in principle possible to finish the course much sooner than this.
Most students are eligible to enrol directly on to this course because we teach you all the maths and science that you need to be successful with the rest of the course.

Engineering Diplomas [40 credit]
We also offer a range of shorter online civil engineering courses. These qualifications are ideal for learners that wish to study a specific topic of interest to them all who wish to complete the course in a shorter time frame then our full 120 credits courses above. These 40 credit qualifications can typically be completed in a time frame of between two and six months.

Why Choose iLearn Engineering^®?

iLearn Engineering^® as a UK based online engineering college specialising in providing online engineering courses for the next generation of engineers on an international scale. Our courses have been developed from the ground up and are specifically created so they can be delivered online.

Open Access Courses

Anyone can enrol as we teach you all of the engineering maths and science you need to succeed with your course.

Real Chartered Engineers

We are a team of Chartered Engineers and academics. We understand what engineers need to know and we also understand what engineering businesses expect from their engineers.

Enrol 356 days a year – start when you are ready

iLearn Engineering^® take a unique view to how their courses are made available to their learners. First, learning is asynchronous, meaning that learners can start their course anytime, 365 days a year.

No schedules, no classes, no deadlines, and no exams.

Instead unlike a traditional college, with iLearn Engineering^® the learner is in control over how long it takes them to complete their course. Students study the learning material at their own pace, fitting it in around their existing commitments, and therefore learners do not need to give up their job or other commitments to gain an engineering qualification.

Full UK Accreditation

The mechanical engineering courses that iLearn Engineering^® deliver have been accredited by a UK awarding body to be at levels 4 and 5 which makes them equivalent to studying the first and second years of a university course in mechanical engineering. Therefore, you can be assured of the academic rigour and quality of courses on offer.

Easy to Follow Bite-sized Learning

Our carefully developed learning material has been designed to be accessible to almost any learner from any background comprising of short videos, worked examples and practice questions to prepare the learner for their written assignments.

Tutor Support

Full tutor support is always on hand to help students that need that little bit of extra help, so you are never completely alone. Tutorials can be arranged with real engineers on a one to one basis.

Career Opportunities in Civil Engineering

A UK Accredited online engineering qualification in civil engineering can open up a wide range of international career paths, including:

Structural Engineer
Geotechnical Engineer
Environmental Engineer
Transportation Engineer
Water Resources Engineer
Construction Manager
Project Manager
Building Services Engineer
Urban Planning and Design Consultant
Sustainability Consultant
Quantity Surveyor
Building Surveyor
Architect
Property Developer
Research and Development Engineer

These roles can be found across a range of industries, including construction, infrastructure, transportation, and environmental management, among others. With the increasing demand for sustainable and innovative infrastructure development and the growing emphasis on environmental protection, the career prospects for graduates of civil engineering courses are promising and varied.

Civil engineers may find opportunities to work on global projects, collaborate with international colleagues, and apply their knowledge and skills to address complex challenges around the world. Additionally, civil engineers may choose to specialise in a particular area, such as transportation or water resources, or pursue advanced education and research in the field.

Civil Engineering

What Is Civil Engineering?

Civil engineering is responsible for the built world that we see around us. From the highest skyscrapers, to bridges, roads, and sewers, the world in which we live would not be possible without the skills and knowledge of civil engineers.

Fundamentally, civil engineering is the study of forces, materials, and construction methods of the built environment, however the role of a civil engineer is much more. A civil engineer needs to take ideas, sketches and often art-work and turn them into safe, habitable places, capable of withstanding the environment in which we live. They must be able to determine the forces (both structural and external natural forces), conditions, and thermal environment that a structure will experience and must be able to design them for functionality, comfort, and ultimately safety.

So whether it be the swaying of a skyscraper during an earthquake, the vibration of a foot-bridge, or the type of foundations for a typical house; the civil engineer is vital in the project’s success.

In our courses you will learn about how civil engineering projects are launched and managed, how forces are determined and analysed, as well as the fundamental construction methods and materials used in the built environment.

In addition you will cover the fundamental maths and science that underpin engineering as a whole.

Our level 5 units will progress onto a range of civil engineering infrastructure types, as well as the increasingly important area of renewable energy.
