TRAINING CENTRE Devoted to Professional Excellence

OBOA is dedicated to excellence in professional training, learning, certification, and to developing leaders who make a difference in communities.

All OBOA training courses now reference the 2024 edition of the Ontario Building Code.

Our hybrid training lab in Mississauga is ready to welcome participants for their 2026 training needs. When registering for a hybrid course, please remember to select your preferred delivery format either in-person or virtual.

OBOA has also introduced a new prerequisite course, OBOA Foundations: The Ontario Building Code & Act. This course replaces the former Chapter 1 content in our updated curriculum and is available at no cost through our new self-directed learning format. Code practitioners registering for their first OBOA training course will be automatically enrolled in this prerequisite, which must be completed prior to the course start date.

If you are planning to stay overnight, please remember to book your accommodations at the TownePlace Suites and ask for the special OBOA rate.

MEMBER TESTIMONIAL

My journey into becoming a Building Official has been unique to say the least -

I gained my B.A. in Communications, and after graduation, I found work as an Administrator for a custom home builder, and later became a Building and Planning Clerk for a Municipality. I was quickly promoted to a Building Inspector due to my past experience, and in that transition, the OBOA training and courses became integral to being able to grow in my career. I've taken 9 OBOA courses to date and I am signed up for my 10th course in October.

The level of education, information and expertise from the OBOA instructors has been the reason I have progressed in gaining Ministry Qualifications and in better understanding & implementing the OBC in general.

I've made great connections over the last few years with the instructors and other participants, where I feel free to reach out with questions or to just keep in touch. Being a part of a supportive community has made such a positive impact on my confidence and drive to continue with my education, which I wouldn't have without the OBOA training.
