What is HBASmart Education?

One platform for every
class your HBA runs.

HBASmart Education (formerly Next Level Builders) is the learning module of HBASmart, designed for the way HBAs actually run education: builder training, continuing education, leadership development, code updates, safety courses, workshops, member events, and professional development.

Courses, calendars, registrations, attendance, member communication, and learning engagement — all in one place, all under your brand.

The Problem

Education should not feel
harder to manage
than the class itself.

Behind every successful class is an incredible amount of coordination. When those pieces live in separate systems, your staff spends more time managing tools than supporting members.

Registrations and attendance tracked manually or across disconnected systems.

Members miss reminders, follow-up emails, or continuing education details.

Course content, recordings, certificates, and resources are difficult to organize.

Staff has to duplicate member information between education tools and membership systems.

The Platform

Everything your education
program needs.

Built for the way HBAs actually run education — not a generic LMS adapted for builders, but a platform designed around your workflow from the ground up.

Branded Web & Mobile App

Give members a professional learning experience that reflects your association, your colors, your content, and your community.

Course Content Library

Create builder-focused training, resources, certifications, recordings, documents, and learning materials in one organized library.

Event & Session Calendar

Organize classes, workshops, code updates, leadership training, and events through a centralized calendar.

Online & In-Person Learning

Support live classroom training, online courses, and hybrid education options so members can participate where they are.

Paid or Free Registration

Offer paid or free registrations, class check-in, attendance tracking, and reporting without manual spreadsheets.

Discussion Groups

Create spaces for members to ask questions, share ideas, and keep the conversation going after the class ends.

Notifications & Follow-Up

Send reminders, confirmations, updates, and follow-up emails so members know what is happening and what comes next.

Member Management

Keep member participation, progress, registrations, and communication connected to the education experience.

Reports & Insights

Understand engagement, attendance, course activity, and member participation so your team can make smarter decisions.

What Members Learn

Great builders never
stop learning.

Whether your members are learning building codes, safety practices, estimating, project management, leadership, or business development, HBASmart Education helps your association make that education easier to deliver — and easier to attend.

Technical

Building Codes

Code updates, compliance, and continuing education delivered clearly, with resources members can reference after the class.

Safety

Jobsite safety, best practices, and required resources — available online, in-person, or hybrid so no one has to miss it.

Professional

Leadership

Professional development for builders and teams — the kind of education that grows careers and strengthens associations.

Part of HBASmart

One module in your
HBA's own app.

Education is one of three add-on modules for HBASmart, the branded app platform ParadeSmart builds for Home Builders Associations. Every HBASmart app includes a shared calendar, push notifications, and a discussion board, and Education uses them for class schedules, reminders, and course discussion groups, so members have one app and one login for everything your association offers.

Today, member information moves between Education and GrowthZone or your current membership system through CSV export and import. There's no live sync or backend API, so your HBA stays in full control of what gets updated and when.

Education is available today. Start with Education on its own, then add Bid Board or Membership later without asking members to download a new app or create a new login. See how HBASmart fits together.
Education

Available now. Learning management for HBAs: online and in-person courses, event calendars, registration, CE and attendance tracking.

Bid Board

Early access. A members-only bid board where General Contractors post projects and Subcontractors who belong to your HBA submit private bids.

Membership

Coming soon. Membership management built for HBAs, designed to keep active status current across Education and Bid Board with no CSV required.

HBASmart Education is the learning management module of HBASmart, the branded app platform ParadeSmart builds for Home Builders Associations. It gives an HBA one place to run online courses, in-person classes, workshops and continuing education, with registration, reminders, attendance tracking and CE records, all under the HBA's own name and logo on web and mobile.
Yes. HBASmart Education is the new name for the platform previously called Next Level Builders. The product, features and team behind it are the same. The name changed so it matches the other HBASmart modules, Bid Board and Membership, and old Next Level Builders links now forward to this page automatically.
No. HBASmart Education supports online learning, in-person classes, workshops, and hybrid class options, so your Home Builders Association can meet members where they are and run every education format from one platform.
Yes. Your association controls the courses, instructors, content, schedule, member experience, and brand. HBASmart Education provides the platform that makes delivering it easier, so your staff spend less time on logistics.
No. HBASmart Education does not connect directly to GrowthZone or any other membership management software. Instead, export a CSV of your member data from Education and import it into GrowthZone or your existing system whenever you want to update records there. Membership, the HBASmart module for membership management (coming soon), is being built so HBAs that adopt it will not need to move member data by CSV.
Yes. Education supports free or paid registration along with attendance tracking, confirmations, reminders, and follow-up communication, so your HBA can run member classes, public courses and paid CE sessions from the same platform.
Yes. Education is one of three add-on modules for HBASmart, alongside Bid Board for members-only project bidding and Membership for membership management. An HBA can start with Education on its own and add the other modules later, with the same login and the same branded app for members.
