Thank you, insightful! You can also add PMI-CP. It's a global certification for Construction Professionals by PMI, the same organization behind PMP.

[@TomStephensontraining]

[@saeedfarhangi2191]

Very insightful video Tom, thank you! What are your thoughts about the certifications offered by AACE International (Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering)? How widely are they recognized in Canada?

[@TomStephensontraining]

They are pretty well recognized. Though I’ve only crossed paths a few times with them. All supportive by AACE. I would say CIQS is more recognized with PQS.

[@saeedfarhangi2191]

Tom, Thank you for the clarification​@@TomStephensontraining
