Trainer - Steve Nicholson

Changes to Part L of the Building Regulations were published in April 2010, and will come into force in October 2010. The six months notice is to allow professional practitioners to become familiar with the changes to the Regulations, and the associated guidance in the Approved Documents and other supporting materials, and to prepare for their introduction in October. This course is designed to help you do that.
