DBIA educational programs are developed to teach practical "how to" courses about design-build and to advance the education, public awareness, understanding and utility of design-build. Courses and programs developed and delivered by DBIA utilize interactive learning strategies to teach topics ranging from an introduction of design-build techniques to advanced application of designbuild concepts. All are designed to impart practical learning which can be utilized in the office and on the job.

Who Should Attend DBIA Courses?

Because design-build is an integrated project delivery method, attendees of DBIA courses span a large spectrum, including government agency employees, owners of buildings, civil infrastructure and process plant facilities, architects, engineers, and constructors. In addition, other individuals with an interest/experience in integrated services also find DBIA courses to be valuable opportunities for additional education and networking, including teaching/research academics specializing in architecture, engineering, and construction, and students pursuing degrees in architecture, engineering, and construction.

Continuing Education

DBIA's courses are approved for AIA continuing education credit. Credit earned at DBIA conferences qualify for elective credits or continuing education credit needed for the Designated Design-Build Professional™ Program.

DBIA continues our "we teach how" philosophy to education and training with the release of the 2008 Education Tour.  Choose from over 70 offerings of DBIA's most popular courses including the "core courses" required for DBIA designation, the "owners series" -- three courses with each focusing on one key, synergistic element to effective design-build project delivery, and other important topics such as conceptual estimating.

In addition, DBIA has teamed with three of the nation's leading universities to offer designation bootcamps to help you fast track the designation process by completing the course courses, exam prep course, and exam administration in one intensive week of training.  These "Designation Boot Camps" will be held in conjunction with CalPoly, George Mason University, and Penn State to provide you with choices while guaranteeing consistent quality across the nation.  Click here for additional boot camp details.

But education that is always available and always accessible across the nation isn't all that DBIA offers.  Put your organization at the forefront by taking advantage of a customized, company-based workshop, training session or boot camp.  Click here to find out more.
