City offers in-service codes training
NORWICH – The city will host free codes in-service training courses next week and for many, it will be one of the last local opportunities to meet the state-mandated 24 hours of annual training necessary to maintain a license in code enforcement or related field.
The New York State developmental and energy codes training will be offered on Monday and Tuesday at the Howard Johnson Hotel. The four training courses will include: Instruction in commercial energy and lighting from 8 a.m. to noon, energy conservation construction for commercial buildings from 1 to 5 p.m., residential building science from 8 a.m. to noon and energy conservation construction for residential buildings from 1 to 5 p.m. According to City Codes Enforcement Officer Jason Lawrence, these courses are sometimes costly but essential training opportunities for engineers, architects, builders and DEC employees throughout the state.
“We try to do this at the end of every year so people have a chance to meet sate requirements,” said Lawrence; this is the fourth year Norwich has hosted free in-service training. “It’s a good opportunity for people trying to gain the required hours,” he added.
The upcoming courses are funded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and though geared toward professionals in the engineering, building and architectural field, they are also open to the general interest of the public.
Numerous local code enforcement officers, firemen, contractors and DEC employees have already registered for the training sessions. According to Lawrence, having free classes available locally is a luxury for most.
“Usually, when we attend these courses, we have to shut down our offices for the day and pay for the fuel, food and sometimes a hotel room. It can get expensive,” Lawrence said. “We can actually stagger our schedule to fit these courses.”
In addition to the money saved by not traveling, city officials are expecting the incoming trainees to also benefit the local economy.
“People who attend these sessions are from all over the state – lots of them from the Rochester or Albany areas,” said Lawrence. He added that Norwich has seen more registrants each year it hosts the event. “People spend money on food and a hotel room and that can be really helpful.”
People interested in attending any of the in-service training seminars are encouraged to call the city offices at 334-1233 prior to the time they begin on Monday. More information is available on the city website at www.norwichnewyork.net.
