Established in 2007, the Academy has evolved to support and provide the formal, vocational and practical skills required to gain and maintain Building Surveyor status.
The Training Academy is the Institute's strategic commitment to its educational and training platform.
Through its wide range of courses across building surveying and controls, the Training Academy provides qualifications support and ongoing technical and professional skills development.
The Training Academy's investment into the sector and support for the career development of those directly involved in Building Surveying and their employers (the majority being Building Control Authorities) sets it apart from commercial operations.
The Institute's goal is to improve the competency of all building professionals in New Zealand and to support future generations entering the sector.
The Training Academy provides relevant, up-to-date, quality training and events for building surveying and control staff, the building industry, and anyone who is interested in building compliance and quality building outcomes.
Offering face to face and online zoom learning options to help manage travel costs and time away from the office.
Providing an informative and interactive training experience, supported by high-quality support materials, delivered to groups of up to 20 participants.
Passionate and qualified trainers, course writers, and support staff are fundamental to our training experience of top-quality, knowledge and skills-focused education that has learners at the centre.
As the industry's peak body and as a charitable organisation, we reinvest in the sector for the good of building outcomes and the community.
We return the support of our members by offering discounted member rates for training courses.
Our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme supports the ongoing acquisition of knowledge, skills, and training aimed at improving and enhancing existing professional practice and developing the personal qualities required in professional life.
