The Construction Specifications Institute offers several exams to measure a person's understanding of construction documentation, standard contract procedures, and specific construction documentation activities as described in CSI's Manual of Practice, a nationally recognized document. These exams are open to both Members and Non-members. With the exception of the CDT Program, Certification is for a 3-year period and renewal of the Certification requires continuing education to stay proficient in the particular field. An individual must pass the CDT Exam in order to be eligible to take the CCS, CCPR or CCCA exam.
