Course details

The CIF's Building Regulations course is a detailed programme which covers everything about the building regulations since they were updated in March 2014. Those who take part in the course come from a wide variety of construction and professional backgrounds, given the wide implications of the building regulations for the construction industry and beyond.

Participants in the Building Regulations course can undertake the full programme which is delivered over ten days of classroom activity over a ten week period. Those who complete the full programme will be awarded QQI Level 6 Special Purpose Award upon completion. Alternatively they can opt for picking one module or a few different modules within the wider course and receive a certificate for those elements.

The CIF played a key role in the development of the building regulations. This in depth knowledge of the building regulations is reflected in the detailed expertise delivered to those participating in the course by people who are leading authorities on all aspects of the building regulations.
