Course Description

RHFAC Training


One in five Canadians has a disability and with our aging population, the need for increased accessibility in our communities continues to grow. Be at the forefront of Canada's growing accessibility movement with Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification™ (RHFAC) Training.

Upon successful completion and passing the subsequent RHFAC Professional exam, individuals will obtain their RHFAC Professional designation, qualifying them to conduct RHFAC ratings.
