The Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) has announced the availability of its Audio Exchange sessions. These 90-minute interactive telephone/Internet seminars provide convenient, quality learning at an affordable price. Most courses qualify for .15 Continuing Education Units (CEUs), 1.5 Education Contact Hours (ECHs) and 1.5 Learning Units (LUs).

All you need to take part in these sessions is simultaneous access to a phone and the Internet. You'll be able to see materials and hear an instructor you can question in real time. Each session costs $165 for CSI members ($260 for non-members). All attendees at a site are eligible for continuing education credit. Registration closes two days before each event.
