Unlock Your Technical Resources
OnBoard Newsletter | April 2024
Expand Your Technical Knowledge
Do you have what it takes to thrive in today's competitive design and construction landscape? Stay ahead of the game with National Gypsum Company's continuing education program. Designed to expand your expertise and encourage meaningful discussions, all programs qualify for AIA Health, Safety and Welfare (HSW) credits.
Regardless of your position in the firm or your project’s design phase, you’ll gain a better understanding of product applications, technical standards, systems and the answers to questions such as:
- What is the difference between Type C and Type X gypsum board?
- What is the difference between high-abuse and high-impact gypsum boards?
- What can I change in UL fire-rated assemblies without impacting the assigned fire rating?
- How do I increase STC ratings with 16” o.c. studs?
We offer a wide array of expert-led AIA HSW continuing education courses during our Lunch ‘N Learn programs. Some of our most-requested courses include:
- Best Practices: Fire & Sound Solutions by Building Type
- Area Separation Wall Systems: Designing Better Fire & Sound Protection
- Understanding the UL Fire Resistance Directory
- Finishing Gypsum Board: Because Appearance Matters
The more programs you attend, the more you’ll know. Our Lunch ‘N Learns will also strengthen your team’s ability to bridge project gaps together and impact everything from project development and management to quality control.
We also have online continuing education courses available throughout the year, but our in-person programs provide more opportunities for Q&As and encourage your team to build knowledge together.
Contact your regional construction design manager today to schedule your in-person Lunch ‘N Learn!
