GBCA is offering a Certificate in Construction Practices in partnership with Construction Experts, Inc. In this program, participants will gain a foundational understanding of key construction skills including blueprint reading, estimating, construction math, materials and methods, and project planning. Participants will learn how to interpret construction documents and apply practical knowledge used throughout a project.
Individuals pursuing this Certificate must complete 8 out of the following 10 classes:
- Introduction to Construction Estimating

Courses for the Certificate are offered either anytime or four times a year. The class schedule is designed so that students can complete the certificate programs within one year. However, to provide flexibility, students have up to three years to complete all required coursework if needed.
If you have completed the required and elective courses (or you are taking the last course(s) now), register here to receive your program certificate.
