If you have not yet enrolled in a Professional Home Builders Institute course, you still have time. The courses offered cover an array of topics and are designed to have a practical application. The constantly developing home building industry has changing needs and the courses focus on an array of relevant topics to provide you with solutions to current issues and inspiration for further business development. 

Three categories of courses are offered: sales and marketing, business and construction. These segments are further broken down into 23 applicable topics including, but not limited to, Land Development, Home Building on Alberta Soils and New Home Marketing.

PHBIA is the educational arm of the Alberta home building industry and offers courses to further develop business, financial and management skills. The courses offer a multitude of relevant information that is adapted specifically to meet the needs of the industry.

Some of the courses began on January 10th, 2012, while others are starting soon and run until the middle of June 2012, with some courses presented at the NAIT campus in Calgary and others at King’s University College in Edmonton.

Earlier this fall, the Government of Alberta designated residential construction site manager as an occupation, and the Alberta New Home Warranty Program funded the development of the program. The Professional Home Builders’ Institute of Alberta is managing training development, the implementation of the course programs and materials, while also maintaining a registry of trainees. The certification for a residential construction site manager is also available on the PHBIA website – and check our new Profile magazine, due out on Feb. 6, for more on this new designation.
