Invitation for the next Capsule Course slated for 03-04 Feb 2025 on "Accessibility in Buildings & Built Environment" in National Building Code, at NITS Noida

Dear Accessibility Enthusiasts,

We are happy to announce and extend this invitation to all interested individuals and organizations for the 6th Capsule course scheduled during 03-04 Feb 2025 at the NITS Noida. Course will be lead by leadership of CABE Foundation who also are contributing to the standardization in Accessibility as members on several technical committees of BIS.

Needless to mention that Universal design or barrier-free design of built environment is essential for ensuring that all individuals, regardless of ability, can use buildings safely and comfortably. These features benefit everyone, including those with temporary impairments or needing assistance. Accessibility promotes inclusivity, independence, and usability, enhancing overall convenience and compliance to Persons with Disabilities Rules.

National Building Code of India 2016 contains more than 115 pages of provisions on accessibility and universal design, illustrated through more than 100 figures.  

This capsule course is designed to provide in-depth knowledge of the code's provisions on accessibility and universal design and their practical applications for ensuring barrier free buildings and built environment. 

Key Highlights of the Training Course:

• Certificate of Participation: All participants will receive a certificate of participation upon completion of the course.
