Are you ready for the NEW NATIONAL ADA STANDARDS that start March 2012? Attend our 3 Part Webinar series and receive up to 5 hours of AIA HSW CE hours that are also State Accredited CE hours on Disability Regulations. The revised ADA "2010 Standards" are here and the deadline for using them is March 15, 2012.  Many design professionals are still reporting that they are uncomfortable with the old Americans with Disabilities Act ADAAG that has been in place for years. Let us help you catch up in just 5 hours. 

These classes show design professionals how to avoid liability in their practice while limiting the cost of implementing the regulations.  We teach simple techniques that you can implement easily to limit your exposure and keep clients satisfied with your services at the same time.  We will show you easy ways to remember what to do without memorizing the manual and tools that make it simple to implement the regulations.
