General Info

Whether you are a company that needs to train a team of new hires or an environmental professional who must complete annual refresher courses to maintain state licensing requirements, ABS provides comprehensive training for both businesses and individuals. A proven leader in training, ABS offers top-quality continuing education instruction for architects, engineers, environmental scientists, insurance personnel, and attorneys. The company's open classes cater to individual students and are held at our headquarters in historic Charleston, South Carolina. We also conduct convenient on-site training for companies with multiple personnel. In addition, we regularly develop and conduct ad hoc courses based upon industry demand or client request. Our asbestos division is well known throughout the southeast for its first rate AHERA-accredited supervisor, inspector, management planner, and project designer courses. For students with multiple AHERA credentials, we schedule AHERA classes successively, so students can complete their refresher coursework within a few days. Our A/E instructors make difficult concepts accessible to a wide range of students. Using a combination of theory, case review, and hands-on sessions, students develop confidence in their knowledge of building performance. Archtectural and engineering oriented courses are based on the latest, peer-reviewed science. Our professionals are active participants in national code and standards bodies such as AIA, ASTM, ASCE, ASHRAE and ICC. We often have access to research, code change proposals and standards revisions before they are published. ABS instructors can help students know what changes to expect and why the changes were adopted.
