High-performance construction demands precision. To get you up to speed with the building science that makes it work, our second online Certified Passive House Tradesperson course kicks off in mid-April. Unlike other providers relying on static, pre-recorded videos from years ago, our program is 100% live and entirely focused on Australian and New Zealand construction methods. Want to position yourself as the expert builder high-quality designers actually want to work with? Register for our free 45-minute webinar this March 31 to uncover the most common knowledge gaps in modern designs. Claim your free spot for March 31.
Having this knowledge directly on-site saves serious cash and headaches. You learn to catch screw-ups early because you actually know what matters like understanding when to design with Intello rather than plywood. You avoid sequencing nightmares, like forgetting a connection strip at the right time, which suddenly requires 30+ hours of origami ninja taping and a grand blown on extra tape. You ensure the insulation actually works as designed, rather than treating it like magic fairy dust sprinkled on the building. It also means less need for a Passive House designer hovering over your shoulder or monitoring remotely.
We thought long and hard about moving this online, knowing it’s harder to build bonds and do the hands-on work. But our awesome instructor, Jessica Winters, flat-out demanded the additional investment in extra live instruction time to ensure this course was great for students. She has taught this class for several years and absolutely loves it. Her sheer passion for helping tradies reach those “light bulb” breakthrough moments in knowledge and skill is the real secret to this course’s success. That extra time really let tradies do their best on the exam last round.
Of course, real-world experience is best. But if you’ve only done insulated concrete form (ICF) construction and now need to do timber panels, you might not have the background. This course provides the overview and theory to make those hands-on experiences stick. How do you know if you have the knowledge? Accreditation.
