NLCA Helps Build your Business
Welcome to our Centre of Excellence
Our Centre of Excellence helps you build the foundation you need. Align your skills directly with those in the commercial & industrial construction industry.
The Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Association Centre of Excellence allows industry members to continue working, while gaining the skills needed in their construction careers.
Global learning with in-class or webinar-based video conferencing, Lunch n’ Learns and special-topic seminars, with new sessions added monthly.
After careful consideration and feedback from members, and taking into consideration the COVID-19 update from our province on March 12, 2020 and the encouragement of social distancing, the NLCA Centre of Excellence will be offering courses via webinar only at this time. Updates will be provided once available.
The Centre of Excellence – a pillar of YOUR NLCA
Together, we’re building Newfoundland and Labrador.
