The Institute
Education
One of the Institute's primary roles is to foster a culture of learning, improvement and professionalism among its members and, more widely, across the demolition industry.

That is why CPD is insisted upon as a condition of ongoing membership, and why the Institute has built a library of expertise so that members can share knowledge and learn from one another. It is also why the Institute went further than most bodies would, and put its name to a degree.
A world first
The IDE Foundation Degree in Demolition Management

It provides a solid grounding in a range of practical disciplines and management theories, and it is open to all members of the Institute.

“I personally feel that education is a massive part of the future of our industry, and I’d like to encourage more people to get involved. Make no bones about it — the degrees are being recognised by clients and stakeholders involved in the demolition process. We as an industry should be proud of the academic standing that we now have. The more we can get behind it, by getting people on the courses, the better.”
