Why MCAA Approved Education Provider

If you offer education to mason contractors you should become a provider.

The MCAA’s national masonry company certification program will reach nearly 17,000 mason contractors nationwide. As contractors decide to become certified, they will be looking for educational opportunities. You as a provider have the best knowledge of keeping the mason contractor up-to-date on the latest trends along with getting to know your mason contractors and what their needs are (team building). You sell materials, products or services utilized by contractors, with this knowledge of the materials and products you can develop a concise education program (or multiple programs) that can be approved for mason contractors getting their certification; you set the cost of your education courses and claim all the profit. Your education programs will also be advertised through a database on our website and listed in Masonry magazine’s upcoming educational opportunities page.

We do offer a free webinar regarding our approved education provider network program and the entire process. I would encourage you to register for one of these seminars so you can see first hand how the program works. Please contact Sharyl Toynton either by e-mail stoynton@masoncontractors.org or phone 800-536-2225.
