Certifications
SPCEA is working to provide a breath of educational content for both cost engineering and non-cost engineering professionals. This aligns with our mission to spread awareness and knowledge of cost engineering methodologies in order to increase efficiency and success of manufacturing industries. It is our aim for those that certify to have all the necessary skills to perform their job properly, and for the companies that hire those that are certified to have full confidence that those individuals can perform their jobs properly.
