Here’s what our participants say!

The Canadian Healthcare Construction Course is a great course for people that work in healthcare and would include construction workers, consultants, Facilities Maintenance and Engineering etc.  Working in the healthcare industry is very specialized, this course touches on the basics of IP&C, OH&S, Codes and Standards, Commissioning, Mechanical & Electrical Systems and many other subjects.  The speakers are engaging and very knowledgeable, the course is interesting and everyone will walk away with something that they can take home.  I recommend this course to anyone who works in the consulting, construction & maintenance of healthcare facilities. The Canadian Healthcare Construction Course should be a requirement for anyone working or wanting to work within the healthcare industry

I have many years of experience in safety and when I took the Canadian Healthcare Construction Course I was very impressed with the course content and how the instructors presented it. As many know, we learn something new every day and the CHES construction course opened my eyes and taught me things that we don’t normally consider in construction outside of healthcare facilities, or in general industry. I highly recommend the CHES construction course to anyone who is interested in increasing their safety knowledge, not only as a construction worker but in all areas of safety.
