Professional Development

Four ways SEHPBA helps you build the skills that drive sales, satisfy customers, and keep your shop ahead of the competition.

1. Free NFI Hearth Online Training

SEHPBA members get access to HE@RTH Online Training by NFI, a catalog of more than 44 pre-recorded courses drawn from top HPBExpo sessions. Earn NFI CEUs without travel costs, hotel nights, or pulling staff off the floor for days at a time.

The courses are on-demand and run 24/7. Pause when a customer walks in. Resume when the showroom quiets down. Train at lunch, after hours, or whenever your schedule allows.

2. Discounted NFI In-Person Training

Hands-On Certification, Member Pricing

For staff who learn best in the room, NFI’s in-person courses are the gold standard. SEHPBA members get discounts for registration for NFI in-person training sessions.

3. Regional Training Events

Learn Local. Network Local.

SEHPBA hosts regional training events throughout the year, bringing top-tier instruction and peer networking to your part of the Southeast. These events combine technical training with the chance to compare notes with other dealers facing the same market conditions you are.

4. Webinars

Quick, Focused, Free

When you need to get smart on a topic fast, SEHPBA webinars deliver. Each session zeroes in on one issue, whether that’s a code update, a product category, a sales technique, or a regulatory change you need to understand. Most webinars run under an hour and include time for live Q&A. Miss one? Recordings are available to members.
