Praise for the PCM Course:

 

“After reading the standards of practice texts, and taking the online classes, the Professional Construction Management course capped off my learning and I took the Certified Construction Manager exam with confidence.”
--Mark E. Cacamis, P.E., CCM, Virginia Department of Transportation
 
"Gannett Fleming’s experience with the CMAA training course was truly enlightening.  We had staff members from a variety of construction projects including highway and bridge transportation, water and waste water management, transit facilities and educational facilities.  The information presented by the instructors related to all types of construction, to include experience levels and background.  A truly satisfying experience that I would highly encourage others to attend."
--Ray Deering, Gannett Fleming
 
"Very interesting and captivating program. I enjoyed this three day seminar. I feel like I learned a great deal more than I expected and would like to pursue a CCM Certification."
--Thistleton Roberston, New York City Department of Environmental Protection
 
"Extremely informative. All content was fully applicable to my day to day experiences. Would highly recommend to any on the CM role, or as myself on the GC side. Helped reinforce my desire to take my career to the CM role on the owner side."
--Jon Coon, LEED AP, Waco, Inc.
 
The CMAA Professional CM Course provides tremendous value in preparation for the CCM exam.  This is largely a function of the group dynamic associated with the course.  The discussion generated by the instructor and CCM candidates remains fresh in the minds of the applicants more so than memorization in isolation.  The course also provides an opportunity to network with industry professionals.
--Christine A Acampora, RA, CCM, LEED AP, CBRE
 
“Great prep for the CCM exam, I would highly recommend to any candidate looking to take the exam.”
--Brandon Murdock, KCI, Inc.
