The Advanced Condominium Course

For more than a decade, CCI has been delivering on its promise to provide condominium residents with the highest level of knowledge available. This Advanced Condominium Course confirms the commitment of CCI to remain on the leading edge of the changes affecting condominium life.

Both the Advanced and Basic Condominium Courses are developed and taught by our professional network of instructors ... all of whom are currently practising in their fields. They are the experts of the condominium industry!

Designed for the dedicated condominium resident, the Advanced Condominium Course attendee will understand all aspects of reserve funds, major repairs and replacement, financial management, common problems and solutions, legal responsibilities... and in the last session, learn about mediation/arbitration and the new enforcement remedies available under the Condo Act 1998.

Part One
Reserve Funds ­ Major Repairs and Replacement

An in-depth review on spending the Reserve Fund and planning for future repairs and replacements. Learn how to spend funds wisely, set up contracts and complete major work properly and in a timely manner. The class will be divided into two groups - highrise and townhouse - to discuss case studies, problems and practical solutions.

Part Two

An in-depth look at protecting and managing your Corporation's funds and assets. How to set up your banking, investments, reserve fund and lien policy. When to go "Power of Sale" and what are its ramifications and when to attorn rents. Borrowing funds to do the necessary work immediately and repayment over a period of years. How high should your insurance deductible be in relation to a savings in your premium. Status Certificates and what to report. Spending money in order to save money.

Part Three
Common Problems/Practical Solutions

This session will focus on the difficult, but all too common, types of problems condominium directors must deal with. Issues such as; problems arising at AGMs, owner occupier voting procedures, maintenance and repairs, who pays insurance deductibles, standard unit by-laws and occupancy standards by-laws will be examined and discussed using real life examples. In addition, participants will be shown how the Human Rights Act impacts upon condominium decision making and what they need to be aware of to protect their corporation (and their own personal liability).

Part Four
Mediation/Arbitration and New Remedies under the Condominium Act 1998

This session begins with a look at the Condominium Act and current legislation including the Mediation/Arbitration By-law and some of the legal 'gaps' that exist. A look will then be taken at the problems, the issues and the role of peacemaking and resolving social dilemmas. Finally, the session will examine Mediation and Arbitration processes ­ including the role, the advantages and disadvantages of each and the procedures, fees, enforceability of decisions and the time frames to expect.
