2015 CDT Study Classes 

Are you interested in furthering your professional education and providing better services to your clients? Then get CDT (Construction Documents Technologist) certified in the spring of 2015 with the support of Portland’s CSI Chapter. We offer classes with experienced instructors to help you understand the material needed to pass the exam.

CSI’s CDT certificate is a prerequisite to CSI’s advanced Certifications: Certified Construction Contract Administrator (CCCA); Certified Construction Specifier (CCS) and Certified Construction Product Representative (CCPR).

Through CSI’s Certification Program, you can develop a conceptual understanding of the entire construction process and concrete skills in:

• Construction documentation development and administration
• Specification writing and enforcement
• Product research and sourcing
• Communication with the design and contracting teams

The CDT exam (Construction Documents Technologist) is the foundation course for all construction individuals.  Studying for the exam will help you learn about Contractual Relationships, Use of Construction Documents and the Construction Process as a whole.  Advanced exams are available for a more in depth review of Certified Construction Contract Administrator (CCCA); Certified Construction Specifier (CCS) and Certified Construction Product Representative (CCPR).

CSI professional credentials are evidence of proven knowledge, education, and experience with construction documents. Holding a certification demonstrates professional commitment, credibility & reliability to employers, colleagues, and clients.
