Ethical behavior is essential for the construction industry. By maintaining high ethical standards, and by being consistent in our practices, we thrive both personally and professionally. The Construction Industry Ethics course is designed to help you and your team think through the ethical decisions you face every day.
To make ethical choices, construction leaders and decision-makers need to think through ethical questions before they’re faced with difficult choices. That’s why the Canadian Construction Association requires Gold Seal candidates to take this course, prior to writing the Gold Seal exam. CLICK to learn more about Gold Seal Certification.
To obtain a Certificate of Completion a PIN will be issued to each participant to complete an online post-course assessment. Only Certificates of Completion issued upon completion of post-course assessment will be accepted by Gold Seal.
