This three-day intensive program includes the three DBIA core courses required for certification plus access to the exam prep webinar for those continuing on to complete requirements for DBIA® certification. Instructors will be experts with hands-on experience in DOT projects providing DOT-specific insight and examples. This DOT Owners-Only course will be offered at a significant discount.
We require attendees to take the short, DBIA code of conduct webinar before the workshop.
Code of Conduct Webinar (Pre-Workshop)
Day 1: Principles of Design-Build Delivery & Procurement
Day 2: Post Award: Executing the Delivery of Design-Build Projects
Day 3: Contracts & Risk Management
Exam Prep Webinar (Post-Workshop)
Format: Virtual
The DBIA Virtual Training classroom is not an “online” experience, but instead a true “virtual” experience. It allows remote attendees a real-time participant experience, fully engaged with their instructor and others in the classroom. In the case of DBIA Certification Workshops in particular, this full engagement is critical. As such, the following is required for those joining the classroom virtually:
- You MUST have video/camera capability on the computer you will be using;
- You MUST keep your video/camera on during the entirety of the training (you may turn it off during breaks and lunch). Each participant is expected to be visible as a class participant throughout the training, just as it would be if you were physically in the classroom;
- Please find a quiet location that will have minimal distractions/disturbances;
- Please Mute your microphone when you are not speaking; and
- Remain in the virtual classroom during class activities as they, too, will take place virtually and you are expected to participate.
DBIA instructors and staff will actively monitor your attendance and reserve to right to decline issuance of a certificate of completion should virtual attendees not actively participate based on the rules above.
ADDED BONUS: Those successfully completing the workshop will receive a complimentary registration to attend the April 21-23 virtual Design-Build for Transportation/Aviation Conference. The registration code will be provided at the end of the workshop.
