Design: Building for Life Accredited Assessor Training Now Available from Creating Excellence

• From 2009 local authorities must include Building for Life assessments as part of their Annual Monitoring Report
• Growth Points should identify how Building for Life will be incorporated into their growth plans.

Full information regarding the Building for Life standard can be found at http://www.buildingforlife.org/.

Creating Excellence is making provision to train officers who might act as accredited assessors on behalf of local authorities. 

Working closely with CABE, we have already held two successful training workshops for prospective Building for Life assessors in February in Bristol and Plymouth.

We are now looking to arrange further courses in May 2009.  For further information on these workshops please contact Amanda.hamley@creatingexcellence.org.uk.

Please note that due to the degree of professional expertise required in undertaking a Building for Life assessment candidate assessors should have a previous qualification in Architecture, Urban Design, Landscape Design, Planning or similar.
