Parts F, J & L 'Lite'
Shared Training 3-hour course
This Shared Training course looks at all the key changes contained in the
new Part L and relates the changes to Parts J & F of the Building Regulations.
It offers a practical view of what needs to
happen in the three critical stages of a project.
The course is full of tips and hints describing how best to approach projects and what not to do in order to avoid problems at the end of the project.
After the course, delegates will understand the changes in the new Part L and the changes of emphasis and what these mean in everyday work.
Who should attend?
This course is suited to any building professional who wants to get a fast overview of the new Part L, plus practical insights into the difference it will make to the way we work.
Architects, developers, builders, contracts, specialist contractors, building consultants, surveyors, planners and building control surveyors will all benefit from attending this short course.
How does Shared Training work?
- Up to 5 local authorities can participate.
- One authority is nominated to "host" the training and provides a single point of contact for all administration including confirming, dates, rooms, catering, delegate names, etc.
- You supply and confirm a suitable venue and catering. Rooms must be appropriate for formal in-depth training with comfortable tables/chairs, privacy, quietness, with projector and screen etc.
- Most courses are suitable for a maximum of 35 delegates - although some workshop courses may have a lower maximum and some update courses can be expanded.
- LABC Training will invoice the host authority.
