Steps
Confirm the worker/contractor is affiliated with a BAC (International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers) local or signatory contractor, since IMI training is a labor-management program tied to BAC.
Enroll in IMI's Historic Masonry Preservation Certificate program, covering traditional materials, tools, and methods for craftworkers on preservation projects -- verify the current curriculum and hours on imiweb.org.
Coordinate scheduling through the relevant regional IMI training center or BAC local apprenticeship and training fund, rather than a single national registration point.
For apprentices, treat this as a supplement to the standard multi-year BAC bricklayer/restoration-specialist apprenticeship, not a replacement for it.
Retain completion certificates as project documentation when a specification calls for trained restoration craftworkers on a historic project.
Known gotchas
IMI/BAC training is tied to union affiliation; open-shop contractors should verify eligibility and alternatives directly with a regional IMI training center rather than assuming general access.
Program names and curriculum hours are periodically updated by IMI -- confirm the current program name and hours on imiweb.org rather than assuming an older name still applies.
Completing this training is a craft credential, not a substitute for firm-level certification (e.g., MCAA) or a project's SOI Standards review.
