Course Overview

This five-day course seeks to provide delegates with a basic knowledge of the methodology of environmental noise measurement, including the use and accuracy requirements of sound level meters and analysers. You'll become aware of the significance of measurement data against the framework of standards and legislation for environmental noise.

Aims of the course

The aims of the course are to:

  • provide candidates with a basic knowledge of the methodology of environmental noise measurement, including, in particular, the use and of sound level meters and analysers.
  • provide candidates with an appreciation of the role of measurement data within the framework of standards and legislation for environmental noise.

After successfully completing the course, candidates should be able to:

  • make reliable measurements of background noise and noise from a variety of sources, according to the requirements of the relevant British Standard or guidance document.
  • present and interpret measurement data in a form suitable for inclusion in a report.
  • identify in outline the principle methods of noise control to mitigate the impact of noise on the community.
  • explain measurement methodology and the data acquired, appreciate the measurement content of reports and environmental appraisals and comment on proposals for noise impact mitigation.

Employability

We offer an opportunity to gain specialist knowledge that could help you stand out from your peers and provide you with skills that you can start using straight away in your day-to-day work.

Measurement of environmental noise is an increasingly important job for planning and regulating noise in a variety of areas, particularly in London, thanks to the wide range and speed of new infrastructure development

Entry Requirement 

In principle, the course is open to anybody who will benefit from it and is well motivated. However it is expected students to be literate and numerate to be able to carry out basic scientific calculations using a GCSE-level scientific calculator. Please note we require a minimum of GCSE A-C in Maths and English (or equivalent) for entry onto this course.

The course is generally considered by past students as intense and demanding, although highly rewarding and extremely valuable. Self-study and revision of material covered is needed on going basis along the course to complete the course successfully.
