Not your average webinar. Using our platform, sessions are held live in real time. Files can be digitally downloaded by attendees and questions of the instructor and other attendee interaction is possible. So, no matter where you are located, we can interface and learn together.

Your technical requirements:

High speed Internet connection

Laptop, tablet or phone (Android or iOS)

Camera

Microphone (may also call in)

Session Design:

All sessions are 3.5 hour modules or less meaning you can plan your day around attending easily. Some days we may do a morning and afternoon session for a total of 7 hours, but you can decide if you have the time to commit, and if not, you can always pick up another module another day.

Certification:

We issue certificates of completion, signed and sealed and we are fully recognized by Gold Seal (CCA) and by the OAA ConED program. We are happy to validate your attendance as needed on a case by case basis.

Our High Speed ZOOM ROOM includes a 60" monitor, fibre internet, immersive sound and 20" tablet.

What people say about our workshops and our leadership...

"Derek is an outstanding course author and facilitator. He creates a learning environment where students not only gain from his vast personal knowledge and experience, but also through specifically structured simulations that provoke high level reflection and critical thinking skills for course participants. Having now hired Derek to deliver 5 different construction industry courses, I cannot recommend him enough."

Adam Pinder

Executive Director

Sault Ste. Marie Construction Association

“Just a quick note to say that some of my staff, including my manager of Construction, attended the OCA’s Construction 101 training on November 21st and 22nd. I had an opportunity to get their feedback and the course was described as nothing short of amazing. They had a lot of positive comments on the material and the instructor. In fact, I have received nothing but positive feedback ..."

"As with all projects that we have worked together, and especially in the case of the Canadian BIM Council experience, I found that he conducted himself in a professional manner and with great integrity as you would expect of any business leader. The vision was exciting but the task challenging and Derek was the perfect leader to take it on. Derek's passion, effort, focus and time invested to get it started was truly amazing and the achievement significant. Our industry was changed for the better and because of his vision, Building Information Modeling evolved into a major driving force in our industry"
