Legal Process Qualification for Designers, Building Officials and RCA's (Exam Prep) 

The Legal Process Qualification course is intended to assist Building Code practitioners, including building officials and designers in preparing to write the Designer, General, Chief Building Official or Registered Code Agency qualification examinations administered by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housings. Students gain a basic knowledge of the legal process related to building code administration, roles and responsibilities of all practitioners. Practitioners will learn how to find and obtain a better understanding of the requirements of the Building Code Act and the regulation that are applicable for writing the examination.

Participants are encouraged to complete all Chapters of the course. Some Chapters are intended for all code practitioners while others provide information for Chief Building Officials, aspiring CBO's, Inspectors who have the same powers and duties as the CBO in relation to sewage systems or plumbing, Inspectors who are Supervisors and Managers of Inspectors and Registered Code Agencies.
