    The Construction Skills You Will Build

    Across the Four PMI-CP Domains

    This PMI-CP training builds practical, exam-ready capability across the four ECO domains. By the end you can manage construction contracts, engage stakeholders, control scope and risk, and govern projects to the standards employers expect.

    Manage Construction Contracts and Delivery Methods

    The skills covered in the PMI-CP start with contracts: you learn to assess contract types and delivery methods, administer contracts, and allocate risk across lump sum, cost-plus, GMP and design-build arrangements, the largest domain of the exam at 50%.

    Handle Variations, Claims and Disputes

    Identify, document and process change orders, and manage claims and disputes for delay, disruption and differing site conditions through negotiation, mediation and adjudication, the areas that most often drive construction cost and delay.

    Engage Owners, Communities and Regulators

    Build stakeholder engagement capability: identify and analyse stakeholders, manage owner and client relationships, handle community impacts, and secure regulatory approvals to keep projects moving, the second-largest domain at 30%.

    Align Strategy, Scope and Schedule

    Define the project execution plan, baseline and control scope, and manage schedule, budget, risk and quality so delivery stays connected to owner objectives and contract requirements across the project lifecycle.

    Govern Projects and Assure Compliance

    Establish governance frameworks, reporting and document control, run project audits and health checks, and maintain regulatory and ethical compliance so accountability is clear from pre-construction to closeout.

    Prepare for the PMI-CP Exam

    Get ready for the 120-question, 230-minute closed-book exam with domain-focused practice, mock exams and exam strategy, plus guidance on the four prerequisite modules and the PMI application.
