CONTINUING EDUCATION

Do you want to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to your profession?  Ever thought of earning an NAHB designation as a way to do so?  February is National Designation month.

 

Earning a designation allows NAHB members to hone their business skills and convey superior training, practical experience and in-depth knowledge to potential clients.  Additionally designation holders can take advantage of valuable networking opportunities throughout their enrollment, working closely with expert instructors and other professionals both within their field and outside their specific areas of expertise.  As part of National Designation Month, NAHB also will step up efforts to educate the public about the value of selecting builders who hold a designation, so your hard work and dedication will mean even more when it comes to your bottom line.

 

Throughout the month of February, builders across the nation can also take advantage of the many special events the NAHB University of Housing is hosting to celebrate continuing education and recognize designation holders in the building industry.

Designations in the following areas currently are awarded by NAHB�s University of Housing:

  • Certified Graduate Associate (CGA)

THE NEW AMERICAN HOME

Each year, the NAHB builds a house in its International
Builders Show convention city to showcase "state-of
the-art" home-building techniques and materials. The
home spotlights the newest trends in housing design,
construction and decor. The Energy Star rated home is
set to be the first "green" home built through The New
American Home program since it began in 1984. The 
certification verifies that the house uses
environmentally sensitive materials and principles in its
construction, and that it is energy efficient. You can
visit the home online at www.tnah.com
