End of Module 1: Reflection Activity

Great Job! You’ve finished Module 1!

Let’s take a moment to review what we’ve covered in this Module;

• Who the Building Official is, and What Their Responsibilities are.
• What Experience is Required as a Pre-Requisite to becoming a Building Official.
• The Different Tiers of Qualifications Building Officials can Possess.
• The Different Courses Taken to Obtain these Qualifications.
• The Different Inspections, and Mentorship Requirements for the Building Official.

At the end of this Module, take a moment to think about other Careers, Backgrounds, Training, or other Experience which might be beneficial in the process of becoming – or continuing the education of – a Building Official. These could be ones within the construction industry itself, adjacent to it – or even completely unrelated to construction itself (like Education, or Finance). In the space below, you’re encouraged to write down your thoughts – and provide some examples of why these qualifications could be considered an asset to the Building Official.

You’re encouraged to share this with your facilitator or other participants, if you’d like. There are no wrong answers – it’s all about considering the factors that make a capable Building Official.
