          Foundation Supportworks is a leading provider
        
        
          of continuing education for design professionals
        
        
          in North America on the topics of helical
        
        
          foundation systems, push pier systems, and
        
        
          polyurethane injection. We know there are many
        
        
          individuals and companies who claim to offer
        
        
          great learning opportunities, but we find that it is
        
        
          the collaboration of both subject matter experts
        
        
          and curriculum design experts that yields the
        
        
          best results in terms of attendees meeting
        
        
          learning objectives.
        
        
          Our curriculum and education methods have
        
        
          been evaluated by national institutions such
        
        
          as the American Council of Engineering
        
        
          Companies’ (ACEC) Registered Continuing
        
        
          Education Program (RCEP) and the American
        
        
          Institute of Architects (AIA), and FSI has been
        
        
          named an approved provider of continuing
        
        
          education through both of these organizations.
        
        
          Our curriculum has also been evaluated and
        
        
          approved directly by the Florida State Board of
        
        
          Engineers, as Florida was the one state where
        
        
          RCEP approval was not recognized.
