BFA Accreditation

The NZ Building Act 2004 states that public buildings must provide for access for people with disabilities.

Access requirements are complex and often forgotten about when renovating an existing building, building a new building or changing the use of a building.

Currently we have BFAs that use their qualifications within councils, hospitals, disability organisations, architect and design companies or they are independent consultants.

In order to become a Barrier Free Advisor, you must attend a 2-day Barrier Free Seminar, attend Module 5: Becoming a BFA, and successfully complete the necessary assessments.

The cost of becoming an accredited BFA will be $1800+GST. This includes:

• 2-Day Barrier Free Seminar (Modules 1 – 4)
• Assessment of Modules 1 – 4
• Module 5 – Becoming a Barrier Free Advisor
• Three trial audit reports
• Accreditation

Excluded in this rate is travel and accommodation associated with attending seminars.

If you are interested in becoming a BFA, please register in a 2-day seminar or contact us for further information.
