MCABC and The Construction Education Council (CEC) proudly present the exclusive Gold Seal Accredited Project Management Program.

This course is designed to help you:

• improve the planning and controlling of your projects, thereby improving your company’s bottom line.
• take a business view of projects and take ownership of a project from bid to final payment.
• increase your own project “lessons learned” by learning from experiences of other participants.
• be able and willing to contribute improvements to your company’s project management process.
• be better prepared to take the gold seal examination, if you choose.
• enjoy your projects!

The course will be hosted at the Executive Plaza Hotel, in Coquitlam BC. The first week of training runs from October 24–28, and the second week runs from November 14–18.

Don't delay. Space is limited to just 24 attendees.

Thank you to all the golfers who joined us last week at our Annual CEC Fundraising Golf Tournament to raise money for construction education! And a special thank you to all of our sponsors for this year's event!

The Construction Education Council is pleased to present the exclusive Dispatcher Training Program. In it, participants will learn about the role of the dispatcher in their organizations and their impact on profitability, communications skills for dispatchers, partnering with service technicians, serving customers, managing the service manager and how to work with the entire team.

The program was originally by the Mechanical Service Contractors of America, and has since been updated and adapted specifically for the Canadian market.

Join us on October 17 and 18 at the MCA Toronto Classroom.
