NC Builder Institute

The NCBI serves as the educational arm of the state association and oversees all of its educational programs. The Institute brings together the industry’s leading experts to create a dynamic and exciting learning environment.

Earn a Professional Designation

The NCBI offers classes that are not only relevant to your industry but help distinguish you from the competition by allowing you to earn a professional designation. A designation shows that you CARE about being the best and you take your profession seriously. Once a designation is earned it will appear on your GC license and on the Licensing Board's website.

Is education over-rated? Depends. In a tech savvy world customers do a lot more investigating and comparing before they make a decision. If YOU were spending thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of dollars on a project would you trust your investment to just anyone?

The more you know the more valuable you become!
