They will work towards completing the educational requirements needed for me to become a Professional Quantity Surveyor. These educational requirements are determined by the Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (CIQS). I am currently a member of the CIQS with the designation of Associate Member.In the first half of 2020 I also completed my professional development units required to renew my Project Management Professional (PMP) designation. It is now valid until May 2023. I originally received this designation by passing the PMP exam in May 2017. This designation has increased my understanding of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring & controlling and closing a project. It also covered knowledge areas such as scope, schedule, cost, quality, human resources, communications, risk, procurement and stake holders. I have completed the Construction Project Management certificate program at Mount Royal University which included 6 courses. I have also completed the Residential Construction Manager diploma from the Professional Home Builders Institute which included 14 courses.
