The Construction Specifications Institute is proud of our many award winning educational programs. Foremost among them is CSI Certification. Each year CSI provides an opportunity for you to attain professional certification in many career-advancing fields.

- (CDT) Certified Document Technician
- (CCS) Certified Construction Specifier

These credentials help boost earning potential and add professional value to anyone serious about a career in the construction disciplines. They are among the most respected in our industry and will attest to the professional commitment and expertise of those who earn them.
