As an approved NC Licensing Board for General Contractors education provider, the HBAF is offering CE courses throughout the year (no classes in December), either in-person or virtually, based on executive orders and CDC guidelines.
We offer 8-hour courses on a variety of topics for the electives, all of which are NC Builder Institute (NCBI) courses. Visit our Calendar of Events page and search Education to view our current schedule.
