CMAA Standards of Practice Course
posted by Larry J Smith on 03/03/08On 27 29 February, 2008 The SAME Sacramento Post and the CMAA Northern California Chapter conducted the CMAA Standards of Practice Course.
The purpose of the Course is to review subjects/materials applicable to the field of Professional Construction Management Standards of Practice. 41 students attended and completed the course. Content for the course is derived from the Construction Management Core Competencies and the CMAA Body of Knowledge.
There are seven (7) Construction Management Core Competencies and the eight (8) instructional modules. The modules are:
Professional Practice
Project Management
Contract Administration
Cost Management
Safety & Risk Management
Quality Management
Value Engineering
Time Management
Students earned educational credit values for attending the course (24 PDH or 2.4 CEU). The feedback from all students was positive as many agreed to form work groups for completing applications for the CCM Exam and study groups for reviewing each of the instructional modules in preparation for taking the CCM Exam at the CMAA National Conference in San Francisco.
This event has further strengthened the professional development opportunities for SAME and CMAA members under the strategic alliance formed by our National MOU.
SAME and CMAA Northern California Chapter are making tentative arrangements for a second session of the Standards of Practice Course to be held in the Bay Area sometime this fall. We invite anyone interested in this program to contact the Sacramento Post (SAME) or the Northern CA Chapter (CMAA) at your earliest convenience.
