While project management certification has become a norm in many industries, such programs do not meet the specific needs of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms.
Thus, PSMJ has introduced The AEC Project Management Association (AECPMA), an organization developed out of a need for project managers to advance their skills, and become certified with a focus specifically on project management in the AEC industry.
Built by a task force of principals and senior project managers from some of the industry’s most respected firms, AECPMA is designed for individuals in all levels of project management–from junior-level individuals just starting their project management careers to senior-level PMs eager to continue learning and achieving certification.
From the ground up, AECPMA is designed to be 100 percent focused on the unique needs of AEC Project Managers through:
-
Elite AEC PM Resources. Members have access to a one-of-a-kind content library covering AEC project management topics. The AEC Project Management Association designs each articles, study, webinar, and manual with its members' needs in mind.
-
Monthly Newsletter. Each month, members are invited to read AEC project manager articles. Each offers ways to improve project management skills as well as strategies and tips to make a good career, better.
-
A Like-Minded Community. With the AECPMA members-only Discussion Forum, members tap into an exclusive network of fellow AEC Project Managers. Here, they can get answers to questions, share experiences, and offer insights that help improve the day-in, day-out work of a PM in the AEC industry.
-
A Rigorous Certification Program for Project Managers. This is the ONLY industry-specific recognition for AEC Project Managers. Achieving such PM Certification proves to your employer and your clients that you are a highly skilled project manager.
While other associations may bring together project managers across a wide range of industries, the challenge is that different industries have different priorities and needs. Not here: The AEC Project Management Association has one purpose for one industry.
