All education, networking, professional development and charitable events in the South Atlantic Chapter are posted on our chapter calendar.
Certification | CCM and CMIT
The Certified Construction Manager (CCM) is the gold standard in personnel credentials for the construction management profession. It is the only construction management certification accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) under the International Organization for Standardization’s ISO-17024 standard.
Achieving the Certified Construction Manager (CCM) indicates to owners and service providers that you have a mastery of specific skills required to successfully complete projects and programs.
The Construction Manager-in-Training (CMIT®) Program is a starting point to help develop a successful career in the construction management industry. The CMIT is a professional credential recognizing the basic and fundamentals of construction management practices, demonstrated by those who have displayed high educational achievement and the desire to learn how to become competent, successful Construction Managers (CMs). Download the CMIT Handbook for more details about becoming a CMIT.
