Recognize Your Knowledge & Expertise with the Industry Standard—CSI Certification

Construction professionals must maintain the highest industry standards. That is why the CSI certification program is a benchmark for technical knowledge.

Since its founding in 1948, The Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) established, and continues to refine, widely used standards for organizing construction information. CSI established its first certification program, Certified Construction Specifier, in 1978 to recognize people who have demonstrated their knowledge and expertise in these standard formats.

CSI certification has evolved to recognizing excellence in four areas. The Construction Documents Technology Certificate Program (CDT) recognizes demonstrated mastery of construction basics. After becoming a Construction Documents Technologist, practitioners can pursue recognition in their specific fields. The Certified Construction Specifier Program (CCS) acknowledges those demonstrating excellence in preparing written specifications. The Certified Construction Contract Administrator Program (CCCA) recognizes those who excel at overseeing the contract administration process. The Certified Construction Product Representative Program (CCPR) honors people skilled at supplying specifiers and contractors with information, products and materials, or substitution solutions.

Construction Documents Technologist (CDT)

The CDT program is a rigorous and comprehensive course of study. Participants earn a certificate as a Construction Documents Technologist Certificate. This certificate represents the holder’s broad-based knowledge of and excellence in the writing and management of construction documents. The CDT certificate program is the foundation for CSI’s certification programs.

The CDT program is a recommended certificate program for architects, contractors, contract administrators, manufacturers representatives, specifiers, and all others concerned with writing, enforcing, or interpreting any aspect of construction documentation.
