    CCCA® Overview

    By MikeHelly | The SPEXpert | 0 comment | 7 December, 2021 | 0

    CSI’s Certified Construction Contract Administrator (CCCA) certification demonstrates you have a high level of knowledge for developing, administering and enforcing construction documentation. Passing the
    CCCA exam means you’ve proven your skill in:

    • Quality assurance and quality control
    • Bidding and negotiating procedures
    • Construction observation and inspection
    • Division 01, General and Supplemental Conditions, agreements, and all other documents related to the project
    • Enforcement and liability
    …and you may use the designation “CCCA” after your name, on your LinkedIn, business cards and resume — plus, proudly share your CCCA digital badge.

    In an effort to encourage specification writing expertise, here are a few questions to test your
    knowledge submitted by George Rosamond. Reminder that the questions on CSI certification examinations are based on CSI references and may differ from your office procedures.
