NAHB Design Concepts & Methods for Livable Homes & Aging-In-Place (CAPS II) Virtual Class

Description

The Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) credential program teaches the technical, business management, and customer service skills essential to competing in the fastest growing segment of the residential remodeling industry: home modifications for the aging-in-place.

As the senior population grows, many are exploring their housing options - but overwhelmingly, older adults prefer to remain in their own homes. This presents significant opportunities for remodelers, builders, contractors, and occupational therapist.
