Education

We have made it our mission to be continual learners of materials, specs, and design in ironwork to best equip builders, architects, and designers through our accredited AIA, LACES and ICDEC educational sessions.

Accredited Courses for the Industry

While the ironworks industry has done very little to provide professional education to the design/architecture industry, Compass Ironworks has worked to fill this void. With our years of experience in the industry, we have gathered a great deal of knowledge in ways to make designs work within the constraints of codes and harsh environments. And, with the acknowledgment that budgets aren't always "unlimited", we know what it takes to value engineer our projects without compromising on integrity.

With this knowledge, we have created (and continue to create) accredited educational courses for those that are in need of continued educational credits. If you are interested in one of our courses, or interested in another element of the industry that seems to be lacking in formal education, feel free to fill out the form below. We would be happy to help!

To date, we have created the following courses:

  • Design and Specification of Sustainable Custom Ironworks
  • Components and Idiosyncrasies of Custom Ironwork
  • Iron vs. Aluminum Materials
  • Demystifying Ironwork
  • Combating Degradation Metal Finishes to Embellish Your Project
  • Access Control, Safety, and Security
  • Current Construction Insights: Is What We Created, Relevant Knowledge for Estimators, Supervisors or Client
  • Liaisons in the High-End Residential and Commercial Industry
