Hi,

I am a BA Architecture graduate and throughout our course didn't really get educated on building regs and only know from my own research and experience parts of it. I wanted to take a course or qualification to develop this knowledge so i feel competent and confidant in the work i'm doing and not relying on others. I just want to be able to design in the comfort of having a full knowledge on building regs to apply to my work but finding a suitable course seems to be baffling. I understand Building Control Surveyors are accredited by RICS however Masters in this seem quite advance and perhaps a knowledge of building control is already expected on these courses? There was also HNC and HND in construction which are perhaps more suitable. I didn t know if there was anyone with any advice on the subject on the best (online) route to gaining a good knowledge of Building Regulations and the laws perhaps witht the opportunity of more career prospects afterwards.

Much appreciated, Nick
