SBA's Workforce Development Program

 

The BAS industry is thriving and talent is in high demand. However, as we all know, great talent is difficult to find. Smart Buildings Academy's (SBA's) Workforce Development Program is in place to develop new talent with the skills they need to thrive in the building automation space. Our robust training solution is well-rounded and manufacturer-agnostic. SBA's courses are both accredited and effective -- and we have the student testimonials and pre/post-assessment results to prove it.

How's the Program Set Up?

 

Smart Building Academy's Building Automation Technician Certificate Program prepares students to hit the ground running on day one.

 

In just 10-12 weeks, students cultivate the foundation needed to skip the typical learning curve met by new technicians.

 

Explore the program roadmap below to learn exactly what students learn as they move through SBA's Workforce Development Program.

Phase 1: Admission

 

SBA's Building Automation Technician Certificate Program is a highly selective accelerated workforce development program.

 

We only accept students that are hungry to learn and have the aptitude needed to excel. 

 

Each cohort is limited to 25 students.

Phase 2: Onboarding

During the onboarding process, our student success team works to familiarize students with the SBA Learning Management System (LMS) and administers their initial baseline skill assessment.

Phase 3: Core Skills Training

 

Phase 3 is the educational portion of the program. During this phase, students learn how to effectively install and configure physical building automation devices.

 

Click on each course title below to see what is covered.

Phase 4: Validation

 

The Smart Buildings Academy validation process is unique in that we utilize an extensive written exam and physical practicum.

 

As part of the practicum, the student will physically install, commission, and program a set of controllers according to provided submittal documentation.

What Students Are Saying

SBA has been instrumental in allowing me to break into the BAS industry. Its very possible I would still be doing HVAC service had I not discovered SBA.
Michael G.
I am brand new to the field of building automation and I have learned so much information just in this small window of time. Phil can take you from the ground floor and make you into a great professional.
Chase F.
Very helpful in getting more acclimated in the BAS/Control field. I've been a medium voltage electrician for 17 years and recently decided to transition to controls. It's very nice to have a resource like this to move me along more quickly.
