The Professional Designation

The Associate Constructor (AC) designation recognizes the first step of the successful candidate's progress toward achieving Certified Professional Constructor (CPC) status. A candidate who meets the educational requirements and passes the first examination-Construction Fundamentals--CQE Level 1--will be designated as an Associate Constructor (AC) and receive a certificate of confirmation by the Commission.

Adding professional managerial experience to the educational requirement for (AC) status, the Certified Professional Constructor (CPC) designation is awarded to individuals who possess the skills and knowledge acquired through both education and experience to manage the execution of a substantial part of construction works.
