🚧 Build Your Construction Knowledge with Two Updated Education Courses!

The HHCA is proud to introduce two updated professional development courses from the Canadian Construction Association (CCA).

✅ Construction 101 has been completely redesigned and refreshed since its original launch, offering a modern, practical introduction to Canada's Industrial, Commercial, Institutional and Civil (ICI+C) construction industry.

✅ Construction 102 is a brand-new advanced course that builds on those fundamentals, exploring procurement, bidding and tendering, contract administration, industry best practices, and emerging trends shaping the future of construction.

Whether you're new to the industry, transitioning into a construction-related role, or looking to strengthen your understanding of how projects are planned, delivered, and completed, these courses provide valuable, real-world knowledge that can be applied immediately.

Participants will gain insight into the people, processes, contracts, procurement methods, and decision-making that drive successful construction projects from pre-construction through closeout.

Start with Construction 101 to build a strong foundation in the ICI+C sector, or take your expertise further with Construction 102 and expand your understanding of advanced project delivery concepts.
