Have Questions About AIC Exams? Contact AIC
AIC exams are designed to separate true construction professionals from individuals that are not yet qualified to support construction excellence. By maintaining strict requirements, we ensure that only the best construction professionals receive certification.
If you believe that you qualify for the AC or CPC level exam, then we encourage you to start the application process today to secure your spot during the Fall 2022 exam window. (College students, you will receive instructions directly from the Construction Management program administrator or support staff.)
We only offer certification twice per year, so you would have to wait until the Spring 2023 exam window for the next opportunity to validate your construction skills and knowledge.
