Fall Certification Exam Cycle Opens August 12

As an architecture, engineering, construction, and owner (AECO) professional, you help transform ideas into reality. But without project delivery know-how, you can be left on the sidelines while other built environment professionals lead the conversation.

By deeply understanding the delivery process and construction documentation, you’re prepared to communicate more effectively with contractors, engineers, product reps, manufacturers, and other design and construction professionals.

You’ll lead the conversation both in the studio and on the job site.

Take the next step in your career and discover why a CSI certification isn’t just an acronym; it’s career advancement. Early registration for the Fall 2025 Certification exam cycle opens on August 12.
