CPD

Both myself and our organization have benefited greatly from the training opportunities provided by ICBA. I am continually amazed by the vastness of their course catalogue and that if they do not have the training that we are looking for ICBA will always try to find something that fits our needs.

Why Choose ICBA Training

Being a member of ICBA is amazing.  I never knew how much ICBA helped contractors until I started my own business and joined ICBA – the apprenticeship sponsorship, training, benefits and wage and benefit survey are all such a great help.
