Have You Considered Holding an EIFS Instructor-led Seminar "By Request" at Your Location? We Bring EIFS To You. Holding a seminar "by request" at your location is a convenient and very cost-effective way to provide education and pursue certification for mechanics, industry professionals, and EIFS inspectors. The EIFS seminar was originally developed to meet the need for generic education and certification for EIFS mechanics, but the program has expanded well beyond that to meet the increasing demand from the industry to certify independent inspectors, as well as industry professionals such as general contractors, distributors, architects and engineers. To meet the increasing demand, as well as to make education and certification accessible to the largest number of interested individuals, AWCI has added "by request" seminars to the menu of education and testing options available. The "by request" seminar is exactly the same as the instructor-led seminars we conduct around the country each year. The course content, the length of the program, the instructors and the staffing is the same as for those national seminars. The primary difference with a "by request" program is that the sponsor has the program when and where he wants it - and often at a cost savings. Sponsors to date have included: Bob Cowley, of Seneca Architectural Products in Phoenix, AZ, arranged for a seminar as a service and convenience for his customers An engineering lab association in Washington, DC held a seminar for member inspectors A national union sponsored the seminar for their Job Corps instructors The cost of the program is negotiated depending upon the size of the group. Generally speaking, the minimum group size to be financially viable for the sponsor is 25 participants. It is often possible for the sponsor to pay a flat fee that will reduce the price below what participants pay to attend one of the national seminars. Add to that the cost savings of travel and hotel bills when the program is local and this "by request" seminar could save participants and/or the sponsor hundreds of dollars.

"The future of our industry is dependant upon quality workmanship, attention to detail and education. AWCI's EIFS seminar has proven itself to be a tremendous education and training program. Holding the program annually at the local level makes it more cost effective, enabling a wider attendance of mechanics and supervisors."
