The Pennsylvania Construction Codes Academy makes every effort to present courses and workshops on the topics listed in this catalog. However, this list is subject to change. Each course or workshop will be on at least two dates at different locations. We make every effort to disperse all our courses and workshops throughout the Commonwealth.
PREREQUISITES
Although most classes offered by the Academy require no prerequisites, all courses are directed to practicing code officials and experienced individuals in the construction and design industries. Those without a basic working knowledge of construction codes may have difficulty with the pace of the sessions. Self-directed, independent study in addition to workshop attendance is highly recommended.
CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS
Students will receive credit hours commensurate with class hours toward their continuing education requirements under the Uniform Construction Code. Continuing education credits are not related to passing the certification examinations, which are required for state certification in each category.
EXAMINATIONS
PCCA does not administer any examinations other than the Building Code Official (BCO) Certification Examination, and cannot accept or process applications for other testing agencies. Please see the training and certification requirements for information on examinations.
REGISTRATION INFORMATION
A monthly calendar of courses is mailed to current students and anyone on the PCCA mailing list, with registration information included. To be added to the mailing list, call 717-763-0930 or e-mail info@paconstructioncodesacademy.org.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancellations received less than ten working days before the workshop are subject to a processing fee: $20 per session. Those who cancel within 48 hours of a workshop forfeit the full registration fee. Substitutions may be accepted.
ACCESSIBILITY & OTHER NEEDS
All training is held at ADA-accessible locations. Please use the accessibility needs line on the registration form to indicate alternate format, sign language requirements, diet restrictions or any other needs you may have.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
The Academy will do everything possible to hold all scheduled classes. In the event of inclement weather at a specific location, please verify that the course is taking place by calling 717-763-0930 by 7:00 A.M. on the day of the course. If the course is cancelled due to weather, PCCA will notify you as soon as possible to alert you of the re-scheduled date.
