    Skills You Will Build in the Program

    Applied Across the Construction Lifecycle

    This PMI-CP training program builds construction contract, stakeholder, scope and governance skills mapped to the four exam domains. By the end, you can administer construction contracts, engage stakeholders and govern delivery on complex projects.

    Master Construction Contracts and Delivery

    Learn what you will gain in this PMI-CP program by first mastering contract types and delivery methods, including lump sum, GMP, design-build and EPC, so you can advise on risk allocation and structure contracts for the project context.

    Control Change Orders, Claims and Disputes

    Identify, document and evaluate variations, process change orders, and manage delay, disruption and differing-site-condition claims through negotiation, mediation and adjudication. This mirrors the Contracts Management domain that carries 50% of the exam.

    Engage Owners, Regulators and Communities

    Build the Stakeholder Engagement skills that make up 30% of the exam: identify and analyze stakeholders, plan communications, and manage owner, regulatory and community relationships across the construction lifecycle.

    Baseline Scope, Schedule and Budget

    Define the project execution plan, set scope, schedule and cost baselines, and apply critical path and earned value techniques to keep complex builds on track, in line with the Strategy and Scope Management domain.

    Manage Construction Risk and Quality

    Identify and respond to project risks, manage insurance and bonds, and run quality assurance and non-conformance control so deliverables meet contract and code requirements on capital projects.

    Establish Project Governance and Reporting

    Set up governance frameworks, reporting cadences, document control and compliance so decisions, audits and accountability are clear, reflecting the Project Governance domain of the PMI-CP ECO.
