MV-Tech Online is an easy-to-use, interactive masonry awareness solution.

The Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) is proud to announce the launch of MV-Tech Online.

MV-Tech Online is an easy-to-use, interactive masonry awareness solution that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is designed to provide mason contractors and their employees with up to date training that can easily and affordably be administered in your office, a job trailer or even at home.

MCAA, along with the International Code Council (ICC) and Masonry Institute of Michigan (MIM) are providing the MV-Tech Online continuing education courses online at www.mvtechonline.com. Current courses are 30 minutes each and include bracing, cleaning new masonry, cold weather construction, flashing and grouting. Additional sessions will be added over the next few weeks and months. Each segment costs $39.99 per person and only $29.99 for MCAA members using their VIP code. Participants receive certification upon completion.

MV-Tech Online courses will be an integral part of the masonry certification process and exam. We encourage you to take full advantage of these programs for yourself and your employees.

Sending your employees to a workshop on these topics would cost you thousands of dollars. We urge you to try an MV-Tech course for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
