We are kicking off 2020 with a series of
AIA Disaster Training workshops
.
The first workshop will be held in Bloomington on Tuesday, February 4th.
TRAINING:
Post-disaster Safety-Assessment Program (SAP) training provides architects, engineers, and building inspectors with the knowledge to provide evaluations of facilities and buildings in the aftermath of a disaster. All building industry professionals are welcome to attend. In addition, certain licensed practitioners will be eligible to perform post-disaster assessments after successfully completing SAP training as certified Building Evaluators: Licensed architects, Registered civil, structural, or geotechnical engineers and Certified building inspectors.
CERTIFICATION PROCESS//
In 2008, AIA adopted and adapted California’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Safety Assessment Program (SAP) as the official AIA all-hazards post-disaster training.
After successfully completing AIA’s SAP training, eligible individuals will earn a California-issued registration ID card. This nationally recognized certification is often required training for volunteer building safety evaluators nationwide.
6.5 AIA HSW CEUs
will be earned. Approx. 4 weeks after course completion, AIA members will see credits recorded in their on-line profile. Only non-AIA members will receive certificates.
Space is limited, don't delay! $140 AIA Members or Partners; $170 Non AIA Members

Attendees should bring their state license number(s
