Is online training for you?

Depending on your needs, schedule and interests, online learning may be a great option for you. Keep in mind that the in-person course also has advantages including the chance to receive immediate answers to your questions, get hands-on experience working with Insulated Concrete Forms, and earn your Nudura ICF Trained Installer Card. When in-person is not possible, online training has its benefits too: 

  1. Flexibility and convenience: Choose when and where to engage with the content. Fit learning into your schedule on a laptop or mobile device. 
  2. Individualized learning: Swiftly progress through familiar material and spend more time on challenging concepts for deeper understanding.
  3. Increased retention and understanding: Revisit and review the modules as needed to better understand material and commit it to memory. 
  4. Enhanced motivation and engagement: Some learners find an online format keeps them more energized and engaged so they better retain the new knowledge.

Disclaimer:
The information presented in this course gives the participant the necessary guidance and basic knowledge of proper installation techniques for using the various products included in a Nudura insulated concrete form wall system. This course DOES NOT train an individual on how to be a contractor.
