Course News

The Education Committee of the NBBOA regrets to advise that due to insufficient course registrations for the Part 9 Structural Requirements (scheduled for Sep 26-30, 2011) this course has been cancelled.

Further note that the registration deadline for The House - Building Envelope is being extended to Wednesday, September 14, 2011. If you intend to take this course and have not previously registered, you need to submit your registration and payment to my office no later than Wednesday, September 14, 2011.

The Education Committee has asked me to remind all members that registration deadlines for all future courses will be strictly enforced. This is required to ensure that unnecessary expenses are not incurred by the Association and sufficient time is available to prepare materials and accommodations for course delivery.

With the pending enforcement of the NB Building Code Act and related educational requirements for all building inspectors in the province, we encourage each of you to seriously consider taking the courses as offered by the Committee. Courses offered this session will not be offered for possibly another twelve months.
