FIS has launched a new e-learning module, Building Regulation Compliance: Contractor Roles, designed to help construction professionals understand and meet their responsibilities under the latest regulatory changes.
Our new competency-led e-learning module provides clear, practical guidance on what compliance really means and how it applies to you. It has been designed for directors, managers, and senior leaders within contracting organisations, while also offering valuable insight for project teams and supervisors responsible for maintaining standards on the ground.
Challenging misconceptions and clarifying responsibilities
A key focus of the course is addressing a widespread misconception across the industry that roles such as Principal Contractor and Contractor apply only to Higher Risk Buildings. In reality, these roles are mandatory across all regulated works, making a clear understanding of responsibilities essential for compliance.
The course breaks down these requirements in a straightforward, accessible way, helping contractors understand exactly where they fit within the regulatory framework and what is expected of them.
Practical, competency-led learning
Developed through FIS’s close collaboration with its members and industry experts, the module is built around real-world application. It aims to demystify complex regulatory requirements and support organisations in embedding best practice.
Designed primarily for directors, managers, and senior leaders within contracting organisations, the course is also highly relevant for project teams and supervisors responsible for maintaining standards on site.
Learners who enrol will:
- Build confidence in the requirements of the new regulations
- Drive your understanding of the Building Control process
- Strengthen your organisation’s competence and capability
- Gain CPD points to support your professional development
Supporting a culture of competence and compliance
FIS emphasises that competence sits at the heart of compliance. Understanding how regulations apply at both an individual and organisational level is critical to managing risk and delivering safe, high-quality projects.
This new module forms part of FIS’s ongoing commitment to supporting the sector through regulatory change – providing timely, practical training that reflects the realities faced by contractors today.
By equipping professionals with the knowledge they need, FIS aims to give the industry confidence that it can meet new expectations and continue to raise standards.
