Manufacturers Training Certification Program Introduced

The NAHB Research Center is expanding its National Housing Quality (NHQ) program to include certification for manufacturers training.

Simpson Stong-Tie, headquartered in Dublin, CA, is piloting the program with its modular training curricula for contractors and framing crews.

The NHQ program is seeking to improve the installed performance of individual building products and to improve the overall quality, durability and affordability of the U.S. housing stock.

Simpson’s training program consists of self-training booklets, videos and CDs that cover essential information on the correct installation of connectors and other Simpson products.
