Also, those of you hiring may find it useful to learn more about these types of certifications and qualifications and how they can advance your workforce. **College Degrees** Degrees are one of the top ways for individuals to get ahead in the workforce. Not only because they offer a high amount of education, but also because they offer unique opportunities that not going to school may have lead individuals to miss. If you are looking to succeed in landing a construction management job, both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree will help you land that job. Pro Tip: If this is the job you really want, go to school for one of these degrees: Construction Science, Construction Management, Business Management or Engineering. **Alternate Certifications** There are many other alternate certifications out there that will help you take the next steps to advance your professional career. Though these are not always mandated or even necessary, they are helpful and will allow you to learn more and be prepared to join the construction workforce. See a list below of relevant opportunities for certification. 1. Though not an actual certification, OSHA offers a helpful training course called the [Outreach Training Program](https://www.osha.gov/dte/outreach/construction/index.html). 2. The [Associate Constructor Certification](http://www.professionalconstructor.org/?page=About_Certification) was created to “provide constructors a professional certification of the skills and knowledge needed to manage the complex construction process.” It offers a great opportunity for advancement. 3. The [Certified Construction Manager](http://cmaanet.org/certified-construction-manager-ccm) certification offers a great benefit to those who have completed the certification and to the employers of those with the certification. 4. The [Project Management Institute](http://www.pmi.org/certifications/types/project-management-pmp) offers a high-level certification where they claim that those who complete it will earn up to 20% more than those who have not. We hope these ideas for certification will help you reach your goals in the construction management field! ![](https://blog.facsware.com/hubfs/36_Certifications.jpg) ### Recent Posts ### ARCHIVES - [February 2016 (5)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2016/02) - [November 2015 (4)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2015/11) - [March 2016 (4)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2016/03) - [April 2016 (4)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2016/04) - [May 2016 (4)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2016/05) - [July 2016 (4)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2016/07) - [August 2016 (4)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2016/08) - [December 2015 (3)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2015/12) - [January 2016 (3)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2016/01) - [June 2016 (3)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2016/06) - [November 2016 (3)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2016/11) - [October 2016 (2)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2016/10) - [September 2022 (2)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2022/09) - [September 2016 (1)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2016/09) - [September 2017 (1)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2017/09) - [October 2017 (1)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2017/10) - [November 2017 (1)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2017/11) - [May 2020 (1)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2020/05) - [June 2020 (1)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2020/06) - [May 2022 (1)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2022/05) - [June 2022 (1)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2022/06) - [July 2022 (1)](https://blog.facsware.com/blog/archive/2022/07) See all - [THE FACS PLATFORM](https://www.facsware.com/platform/) - [SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION](https://www.facsware.com/schedule-a-consultation/) - [OUR COMPANY](https://www.facsware.com/our-company/) - [CONTACT](https://www.facsware.com/contact/) Copyright 2022 FACS LLC | All Rights Reserved [Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/company/field-automated-communication-systems)
