The one constant in the home building industry is change. New products, changing technology, and evolving legal and building code laws are just a few of the industry's elements that require constant vigilance and training.
To assist home builders and other industry professionals to stay on the cutting edge, the North Carolina Home Builders Association developed the North Carolina Builder Institute (NCBI). The NCBI serves as the educational arm of the association and oversees all of its educational programs. The Institute brings together the industry's leading experts to create a dynamic and exciting learning environment.
Education is defined as the imparting of knowledge, positive judgement and well-developed wisdom. By attending the NCBI you will not only gain valuable information to further your business, but you will also have the opportunity to meet and network with other industry professionals experiencing the same challenges in today's market place.
The NCBI is here to provide you with the tools you will need to stay ahead of your competition. With flexible course hours, up-to-date materials and cutting edge technology, we are here to help you succeed in your business.
The three major objectives of NCBI are:
1. Enhance technical and professional knowledge in the areas of new technology, business strategies, marketing techniques, effective management and changing consumer demands.
2. Provide recognition for those who strive for continued growth and development in the home building industry.
3. Provide continuing education and professional development programs that are both accessible and affordable to members.
Choose from more than 50 courses in the nine different tracts to build an educational experience to meet your needs.
