The Steel Framing Industry Association (SFIA) has established a free video-based educational program designed to help building professionals stay on top of the issues affecting the cold-formed steel industry. Course topics encompass a wide scope of technical, sales/marketing, and management issues, and target varying levels of experience to serve everyone from the construction professional just learning about cold-formed steel to the seasoned manager who wants to increase business planning effectiveness.
SFIA educational, training, and program videos
SFIA has three types of programs – general educational videos, code-compliance certification training videos, and programs listed as SFIA followed by a numerical designation (for example, SFIA 101).
