Licensed Building Practitioner Skills Maintenance

To take advantage of this free service please register your interest here.

With the introduction of occupational licensing in the building trades we are entering a new era of on-going learning. No longer will it be acceptable for a carpenter, builder or designer to simply complete their formal training and then stop learning.

Building code changes, product developments, increased customer expectations, and changing construction practices are a fact of life. These changes are taking place at a greater rate than ever before and unless some time is invested by LBP's, they will soon find themselves out of touch.

Winstone Wallboards have recognised this situation and can provide information at a range of levels to help keep LBP's up with the play.

Some commonly asked questions regarding our sessions are;

Where do they take place?

• We come to you. Because of the wide range of topics and levels covered by the presentations we have found it more effective to do it this way rather than larger, seminar type sessions.

How long do they take?

• Because we realise that time is critical to businesses these days we have designed presentations that take no longer than 2 hours.

What is the calibre of the presenters...or...... do the presenters know their stuff?

• Our presenters are all trade qualified and we have at least 1 LBP (Carpentry, Site 2) on the team. We have been delivering similar presentations to builders, designers, architects and building officials for the past 10 years and they are held in high regard with several companies requesting sessions on an annual basis. We must be doing something right.
