    What You Will Learn in the PMI-CP Program

    Skills You Can Apply on Site

    This training maps directly to the four PMI-CP exam domains, so you build real construction delivery capability alongside exam readiness. By the end, you can govern contracts, stakeholders, scope and risk on complex projects.

    Choose Contract Types and Delivery Methods

    In this PMI-CP training you will learn to assess lump sum, cost-plus, GMP and unit-price contracts and delivery methods such as design-build, CM at risk and EPC, and advise on how each allocates construction risk.

    Administer Contracts, Variations and Claims

    Apply contract terms, process change orders, manage payment applications and retainage, and handle delay, disruption and differing-site-condition claims through negotiation, mediation and adjudication.

    Engage Owners, Communities and Regulators

    Identify and analyze stakeholders, build engagement plans, and manage owner approvals, community concerns and regulatory sign-offs so projects keep their social license and stay on program.

    Define and Control Project Strategy and Scope

    Develop the project execution plan, baseline scope with a construction WBS, and run a disciplined change-management process that keeps scope, cost and schedule aligned to the contract.

    Manage Schedule, Cost, Risk and Quality

    Build CPM schedules, apply earned value to track cost and schedule, run the risk register, and manage quality assurance, non-conformances and corrective actions across the build.

    Establish Project Governance and Compliance

    Set up governance frameworks, reporting and document control, support audits and health checks, and keep the project compliant with codes, standards and ethical conduct.
