This program is full, and the waitlist has been closed. Mahalo for your interest. We hope to offer SAP training annually.
In light of the tragic situations on Maui and the Big Island, AIA Hawaii is offering a Safety-Assessment Program (SAP) training which prepares architects, engineers, and building inspectors with the knowledge to provide evaluations of facilities and buildings in the aftermath of a disaster.
This is a 2-day training program (you must attend both days, August 15 and 17) will be held virtually through Zoom.
ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS:
- Licensed architects
- Registered civil, structural, or geotechnical engineers
- Certified building inspectors
All building industry professionals are welcome to attend. Certain licensed practitioners will be eligible to perform post-disaster assessments after successfully completing SAP training as certified Building Evaluators.
Partiality will be given to Maui architects, followed by AIA members and SEAOH members, and then other architects. We are limited to 70 total participants by CalOES rules.
CERTIFICATION PROCESS:
After successfully completing the SAP training, eligible individuals will earn a nationally recognized certification, which is often part of the required training for volunteer building safety evaluators nationwide.
