Schöck Lunch & Learns offer a way to bring this knowledge directly to you and your team. Our educational sessions combine details and research from both Schöck and third party sources to advance your understanding of structural thermal breaks. We also discuss region-specific codes that are in effect currently, as well as upcoming changes.
What can you expect from a Schöck Lunch & Learn CE course?
Our main CE course is one hour in length – approximately 45 minutes of presenting with some time at the end for your questions – and is usually done via a Microsoft Teams video conference. In certain regions, in-person Lunch & Learns are offered, but they are limited and naturally depend upon current health-related circumstances.
The course is AIA-certified (1 LU/HSW, USA), AIBC-certified (1 LU, British Columbia) and AAA-certified (1 LH, Alberta). All attendees receive a Certificate of Completion via email that can also be submitted to other professional organizations for possible continuing education credit. We recommend checking ahead of time to confirm qualification requirements. Schöck submits AIA and AIBC credits to the respective organizations for attendees who provide us with a current member number.
Below is a brief summary of the course content:
