About Enka

Enka was established in 1998 and quickly become a much respected training facility within the construction sector.

With over 25 years of on-site experience from around the world to draw upon, Enka not only offers a structured and pragmatic teaching programme, but also constructive anecdotal evidence to emphasise the current setting-out philosophy.

Successful candidates will immediately see the benefits of having the Enka qualification. Freelance rates commonly start at £17 per hour, and the more experience one gains the more one's hourly rate will increase.

The training facility is based in Swindon, which is just off Junction 15 of the M4 or half an hour from the M40. Swindon can also be accessed by frequent train links from London's Paddington Station.

Mission Statement

Our vision is to fully equip prospective Civil Engineers with the fundamentals of the setting-out process, so that they can become a fully functional and valued member of construction projects.

Construction industry analysts have long recognised the lack of qualified Civil Engineers, and this problem will be compounded further within the next 15 years with over half of all Chartered Civil Engineers reaching retirement age. There has never been a more prosperous and advantageous time to become a Civil Engineer.

As a direct response to the predicted shortfall, Enka has developed a challenging two week intensive training course which aims to give candidates a solid base from which they can expand into all areas of civil engineering, creating the opportunity to work on various and interesting projects not just in the UK but anywhere in the world.
