Program Description:
Training program – San Antonio Building Codes Academy (SABCA)
Cost/Benefits:
Training and development are critical in helping the department achieve its goals and objectives.
By building and maintaining viable training programs, the department is able to support our
customer, community and stakeholder needs while ensuring life and safety concerns are satisfied.
Our main training program focuses on continuing education and certification, community
outreach and broadening the knowledge of our staff. The San Antonio Building Codes Academy
(SABCA) is a South/Central Texas regional training academy, sponsored by the City of San
Antonio Development Services Department. SABCA was established with the goal of bringing
high-quality educators and necessary building-related codes training to code officials, design
professionals, builders, tradesmen and building owners and managers. This goal is also identified
in the department’s Strategic Training Plan.
SABCA is currently sponsoring training seminars in the spring, fall, and winter of each year with
the summer 2020 and spring 2021 trainings being offered virtually through WebEx. Staff and
customers were able to register through a WebEx event. They were provided information on how
to attend a WebEx, and technical support was offered the day of training if anyone had problems.
