Important: This course is intended for educational purposes only and does not qualify as official engineering training or certification. Completion of this course does not substitute for the expertise or services of a licensed demolition engineer. It is critical to consult and hire qualified engineers for any demolition projects, as they are essential for ensuring proper planning, safety, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Participants should not assume that taking this course alone equips them with the necessary skills to act as an engineer on demolition projects.
