E-learning prerequisite required. All Health Care Construction Workshop attendees must complete an e-learning prerequisite portion before the face-to-face program begins on May 3.

A Certificate of Attendance with CECs is awarded once the evaluation is complete. Attendees will receive information to access the e-learning prerequisite upon registering. Completing ONLY the e-learning prerequisite does not constitute as completion of the Health Care Construction workshop.
ASHE recommends that each general contractor/project lead holds a CHC Certification, and that at least one CHC holder should be part of every health care facility construction project.
