Which Certificate Program is Right for You?

The Construction Institute offers three certificate programs — Project Management, Construction Management, and Facilities Management. Each is 24 hours of online, on-demand training built for professionals with roughly three to ten years of industry experience who want to move up, not start out. Choose based on what you manage: projects, the building process, or the building itself.

Our certificate programs have been developed by seasoned experts to empower you in customizing a training program that aligns with your professional development objectives. By earning a certificate, professionals not only enhance their industry knowledge but also showcase their commitment to personal growth. 

Best for: Coordinators, assistant PMs, and superintendents moving into PM roles.

You manage: Schedules, budgets, scope, and delivery on individual projects.

Choose this if: Your daily work is keeping a project on time and on budget.

Best for: Field leaders, superintendents, and PMs moving toward broader operations.

You manage: The construction process end to end—including means, methods, teams, and risk.

Choose this if: You’re responsible for how the work gets built.

Best for: Facility managers, building operations staff, and owners’ representatives.

You manage: The building after handover—including operations, maintenance, safety, planning, and finance.

Choose this if: Your work starts where construction ends.

How Is this Different From a University Certificate?

University construction management certificates typically run eight months to a year, award college credit, and are built for people entering the field. Ours run 24 hours, are taught entirely by working A/E/C practitioners, and are built for professionals already in the industry who need practical skills and continuing education credit without pausing their careers. Different tools for different jobs — if you need college credit toward a degree, a university program is the right choice. If you need applicable skills, CE credits, and a credential you can finish around a full-time job, that’s what we built.

"I have learned so much already and have been able to implement what I have learned into the field. I have come up with creative solutions to keep schedules on track and improve communication and coordination, and am enjoying building the connection between financial and construction."  -Ellie Vancisin, Construction Resources, LLC
