In this part the basic knowledge acquired in part I
of ‘Education in Heritage’ is further elaborated
on. In part II the regulation and legislation in the
field of conservation of monuments and restoration will
be expanded on, as well as on the techniques and materials
to be used. The course will contain a practical 14-week-part,
during which under guidance of a lecturer the participant
will go and measure a monument and learn how to make
a plan for the restoration and renovation of the monument.
Simultaneously the participant will receive the necessary
theoretical background information to be able to set
up a restoration and renovation plan in the form of
guest lectures delivered by different professionals.
In order to participate in part II, the participant
must have taken part I: Education in Heritage successfully.
Given that the measuring and documenting of a monument
is part of this exercise, the practical part of it will
take place during the day. It is also possible to participate
in the theoretical part only, which will be in the evening
hours. The course is particularly focused on clients
(occupants / owners), designers or contractors who are
involved in the restoration, but is also open to others,
especially the theoretical part of it. This course is on bachelor’s level as well. The language of conduct is Dutch.
