"CSI certification is a benchmark of technical knowledge. Professionals who have it achieve industry recognition and increase the value of their work to their clients and their employers."
Gary A. Betts, FCSI, CCS, AIA

Bottom line – CSI certification proves that you uphold the highest industry standards.  When you are CSI certified, you demonstrate commitment to excellence – and that opens doors.

Whether your firm specializes in specifications, contract administration, or product representation, CSI Certification programs give you the ability to manage complex building issues in a highly competitive market.

Only CSI's Certification Programs benefit all disciplines in the commercial and industrial building design and construction industry. That's because CSI is the only organization to represent all the members of the construction team.

"There is a lot at stake with a LEED project. A project that doesn't use CSI Certified Professionals risks failing to attain certification due to a technical error.  What a shame it would be to work so hard on a LEED project and have it miss the mark because some entity did not understand the construction process!  Everyone on the team needs to have the knowledge base that only CSI Certifications can demonstrate.  Can you imagine being the one to tell a Building Owner that a project was not LEED Certifiable because of a communication error?  That is the stuff lawsuits are made of."
- Robert H. Mallory, CSI, CCS, CCPR, CCCA, LEED AP
