Designed specifically for registered Class 1 building inspectors who previously worked unsupervised before April 2024 on any project type and who are now considering registering at a higher Class, and all other Registered building inspectors from Class 2A - F who are seeking to keep their competency knowledge up to date.

This programme provides a technical overview of the key changes to building control introduced by the Building Safety Act 2022. It covers the new dutyholder and competence requirements, updated application routes (including applications for approval with full plans, statutory consultations and the Building Safety Levy), and clarifies the main notification stages and information to be provided to the local authority (for example, commencement and fire safety information), alongside the building control authority’s powers to require reasonable tests.

The course takes a technical look at recent and emerging changes to Schedule 1 and Approved Documents B, L, M, R and T, together with the updated version of BS 9991, other associated guidance such as the Approved Documents FAQs, and the Future Homes Standard. It also explores updated enforcement powers and the appeals process, the transition from Approved Inspectors to Registered Building Control Approvers, and the handling of initial notices.

We worked with accreditation bodies to develop a unique Level 6 qualification for people managing the enforcement process to ensure public safety.

Our course is for managers, team leaders or surveyors in building control who have responsibility for, or carry out, enforcement. It's not about management and legislation, it’s about sharing our knowledge and experience in our core role of protecting the public. We’ll look at inspection and enforcement processes including:

• legal action (formal court action, PACE interviews, witness statements, evidence, monitoring reports)
• risk assessments
• lone working policies
• emergency planning
• staff development
• actions proportionate to the risks presented
