Event
ARE Building Systems Prep Course
The seminar is comprehensive, and it is expected that participants will be ready to take the exam itself within one week of the course, even if you have not studied prior. The course REPLACES studying (rather than initiates it). In addition to base content, the program includes a group session dedicated to practicing the vignette, individual practice vignette grading, and the instructor's study guide, ARE Building Systems Study Guide and Practice Exam: The Amber Book.
If you don't pass the exam, your tuition is refunded!
