7. Business planning, management, and administration, including business vision, objectives and goals, operational planning, strategic planning, pricing and sales strategy, marketing concepts, change management and understanding different business forms (such as sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, limited partnerships and partnerships of corporations) 8. Business ethics , topics such as corporate governance, reputation, bribery, discrimination, corporate social responsibility, fiduciary responsibility, conflicts of interest, fair bidding, understanding and applying equity, diversity and inclusion principles in shaping internal policies, processes and business operations, and sustainable business practices A detailed description of the seven core competency areas, including the learning outcomes for each competency, can be found in our Core Competency Requirements bulletin . Learning outcomes state what a builder is expected to know, understand, and/or is able to show by the end of a training course. To determine whether a course qualifies for CPD credits, the training must have a clear connection to one or more of the learning outcomes. However, the training does not need to cover a competency area in its entirety. When submitting a course for review, the education provider may be asked to provide additional details to link the training to a competency area as well as the relevance to residential construction. Training that is linked to a competency that is relevant in multiple industries, should include examples and scenarios that are relevant to the construction sector in order to meet the CPD requirements. For example, for the Customer Service and Warranty competency, if the training is regarding providing quality customer service, the examples should be specific to the relationship between a builder and the homeowner or the warranty provider.
