EDUCATION & CERTIFICATIONS
Webinars allow attendees to earn Masonry Certification credits from the comfort of their homes or offices, while attending masonry seminars that will improve productivity and profitability. Attendees are able to interact with the instructor and each other, and have access to handouts just as they would in a classroom setting.
MCAA Virtual University
The MCAA Virtual University offers convenient online courses that are available on demand. Self-paced online courses for OSHA 10- and 30-hour Outreach training, fall protection, scaffold safety and much more can be accessed by you or your employees, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Approved Provider Network
An integral component of the certification program is the Approved Provider Network. The Approved Provider Network pre-approves and designates course work for certification credit. Mason contractors have the opportunity to meet education requirements for certification by completing these courses.
More than 30 companies and associations have partnered with the MCAA to provide more than 500 education opportunities to mason contractors throughout the country. All approved courses offered by providers have been reviewed by the MCAA Certification Committee and have been accepted as quality education.
