Education Report - Specifier: November 2014

The Vancouver chapter began a Principles of Construction Documentation course this September. Fifteen students had registered for the class that started on the 22nd. Once again the course is being taught by Glenn Chatten and being held at the VRCA Vancouver office.

Principles of Construction Documentation is the first course, and a pre-requisite, for all of the CSC education streams. These are Certified Technical Representative, Certified Construction Contract Administrator, and Certified Specification Practitioner. It is also a strong foundational course for people who are new to the construction industry or want to better understand construction documentation (specifications, drawings and schedules), products, bidding procedures and contracts. This course is offered on-line by CSC Canada once a year and the Vancouver chapter aims to hold one local class a year. If there is enough demand the Chapter will look at offering another course.

The Technical Representative course is scheduled to begin January 22, 2015. Final details are being worked but tentatively we expect them to once again be held at the VRCA Vancouver location. Please look for the registration form to be posted on the Chapter web page in the next month or so.

The CSC Vancouver chapter is also looking to hold either, or both, Specifier 1 and Construction Contract Administration beginning in the late Winter or early Spring. There have been a few people that have expressed interest in both classes, but not enough to hold a session. If you or any one you know has expressed an interest please contact me so we can work on getting a class filled and scheduled for each.
