As infrastructure projects scale globally, geotechnical engineers who can model and analyse soil behaviour with PLAXIS 2D are in critically short supply.

01

Global Demand

Over $300+ billion in geotechnical and foundation projects are underway worldwide — all requiring FEM-based analysis expertise.

02

Ultra-Niche Skill

Less than 3% of civil engineers of civil engineers have hands-on PLAXIS modelling expertise — making you stand out instantly in any job market.

03

    I took a course on PLAXIS 2D and was really happy with the experience I received. The mentor (Dr. D.K. Malviya) is a really knowledgeable person and was able to handle the doubts well. Also the course was well laid out and covered all the important applications of this app. Useful for civil engineering graduates or working professionals.
