Building Code Training | Ontario First Nations Technical Services Corporation
The Housing Branch of the OFNTSC is pleased to announce a training calendar for Building Code Course's for the year 2009. Over the next year the Housing Program will be facilitating Building Code training in centralized areas servicing Tribal Councils and First Nations.
Prerequisites: Trainee's may be asked to complete introductory or first-level courses in order to take some of the following courses. Course facilitators will assume that Trainee's entering higher-level courses posses the prerequisite knowledge and will course pace accordingly. Trainee's who have not taken the prerequisite courses may apply and attend higher-level courses, however, they do so at the risk of being left behind.
These courses are intended to provide advanced, in-depth technical training in the Building Code, and associated standards and regulations. There is an examination at the end of each course. An overall grade of at least 70% is required for successful completion. Individuals who successfully complete the course will receive a Ministry of Housing course certificate.
