Barrier Free NZ Trust seminars qualify for Licensed Building Practioner (LBP) Continuing Professional Developments points (CPD).  Any person involved in the building industry, keen to learn more about the economic and social benefits of making buildings and public places accessible will find the seminars particularly relevant and useful.


We can tailor a seminar to the specific needs of any cluster or industry group.
