FIS launches new E-Learning module to help contractors navigate changing Building Regulations

Latest News Tue, Jun 9, 2026 5:29 AM

FIS has launched a new e-learning module, Building Regulation Compliance: Contractor Roles, designed to help construction professionals understand and meet their responsibilities under the latest regulatory changes.

The new competency-led e-learning module provides clear, practical guidance on what compliance really means and how it applies to contractors.

It has been designed primarily for directors, managers, and senior leaders, while offering valuable insight for project teams and supervisors responsible for maintaining standards on the ground.

A key focus of the course is addressing a widespread misconception across the industry that roles such as Principal Contractor and Contractor apply only to Higher Risk Buildings. In reality, these roles are mandatory across all regulated works, making a clear understanding of responsibilities essential for compliance.

The course breaks down these requirements in a straightforward, accessible way, helping contractors understand exactly where they fit within the regulatory framework and what is expected of them.

Developed through our close collaboration with members and industry experts, the module is built around real-world application. It aims to demystify complex regulatory requirements and support organisations in embedding best practice.

Learners who enrol will:

  • Build confidence in the requirements of the new regulations
  • Drive their understanding of the Building Control process
  • Strengthen their organisation’s competence and capability
  • Gain CPD points to support their professional development

Competence sits at the heart of compliance, and understanding how regulations apply at both an individual and organisational level is critical to managing risk and delivering safe, high-quality projects.

This new module forms part of FIS’s ongoing commitment to support the sector through regulatory change, providing timely, practical training that reflects the realities faced by contractors today.

FIS members can access the e-learning for free via the FIS Academy. The courses are available to non-members for a fee.
