About The Course
The Steel Structure — 6 Project Based Course is a practical, industry-focused training program designed to teach steel structure analysis, design, and detailing through real project workflows. The course helps learners move beyond theory and understand how structural decisions are made in professional design offices.
Through hands-on training, participants will learn how to interpret project requirements, calculate loads, model steel structures in STAAD.Pro, perform member design, design connections, and prepare submission-ready drawings and reports. The course includes six complete steel structure projects covering staircases, lift shafts, warehouses, G+4 buildings, canopies, and failure rectification studies.
Why This Course Stands Out

Student Reviews
The best part of this course is the project-based approach. Every session is focused on real design problems. The canopy and failure case study improved my practical understanding a lot.
Excellent training with real project exposure. The lift shaft and G+4 building modules were especially useful. I now feel confident working on steel design and checking connections.
IDEA StatiCa connection design was confusing until the instructor walked us through each step that made a big difference.
Zero steel detail experience coming in the capstone project forced me to apply everything, and I walked away with a solid project in hand.
