Building Construction Class

[Cptsubtle]

I am from New Hampshire and I am looking to find a class on Building Construction that uses Brannigan's Building Construction for the Fire Service 4th Edition as the text book. I am not as interested in taking a course that goes 3x a week, 1hr a day for 4 months but would rather take an 8hr a day for two straight weeks class. Travel might not be an issue. Can anyone help me?

Not sure if NFA's traveling show uses Brannigan or not.

give NFA a call to see what they use and if it is being taught in your area

they do both combustible and non com

Have you called the state to see if they offer anything or know someone that does ???

I am not trying for college credits, just want to learn more and that is the book that we use to study from for our promotional process. I will try those links but don't think NHFA offers the class I am looking for. Keep other ideas coming please.

Read it wrong but these might still help

Sounds like you best bet is an online course, maybe check some of the jr colleges in your state.

here is one, but not in NH;
