Construction Quality Management for Contractors

This one and half day virtual training course hosted by the US Army Corps of Engineers covers the QC/QA system successfully used by the Corps of Engineers and  NAVFAC. Concepts are increasingly being adopted by state agencies, public authorities, and other local public sector owners. It details planning concepts, which are prevention-oriented to reduce tear-out, improve quality, and improve schedule.

ABOUT THE COURSE

CQM-C course was developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), and Associated General Contractors (AGC). Upon satisfactory completion, a five-year certificate will be issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The CQM-C certificate earned from the class is approved for both Army and Navy projects. 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

CQM-C is a construction continuing education course useful for owners, A/Es, inspectors, construction managers, facility engineers, particularly those doing public sector construction. Successful completion of the CQM-C course by QC managers and their alternates is required by both USACE and NAVFAC construction contract specifications. NAVFAC design-build specifications require both construction QC managers and design QC managers to have successfully completed the course.

Construction Spanish is designed for language learners who wish to learn the basics across the build cycle, from foundation to framing to final clean. Brought to you in partnership with Bradley Hartmann & Company, this course is six weeks long, conducted Monday through Friday, and requires an average of fifteen minutes per day. Each weekday, an email arrives in your inbox with a link to that day’s brief video (videos range from four to six minutes). You watch the video and then complete the corresponding exercises in the book. To accommodate multiple learning styles, additional learning tools are included, like drive-time audio to listen to on your commute, a flash card app, and twelve audio recordings and transcripts based on common job site conversations.

Supervisory Training Program

AGC of America’s Supervisory Training Program  (STP) is a comprehensive six-course program focusing on the knowledge and skills that every supervisor must have to be an effective manager of people, time, equipment and materials. STP is a nationally-recognized training standard that has been the professional development resource of choice for more than 130,000 construction supervisors and managers.

Online Courses

This online version of the Supervisory Training Program (STP) is the same construction-specific training curriculum developed, updated, and field-tested by contractors as the face-to-face course. The comprehensive six-course certificate program is administered by San Diego State University through Construction Classes Online and AGC, and will benefit anyone on a construction jobsite who is in, or aspires to, a supervisory role. Each term three or four courses are offered, and students can register for one, two, or all those offered. Courses must be completed by the last day of the term. We recommend that you start with one course and become familiar with your own pace on the curriculum, then add more each term as your schedule allows. The STP curriculum creates an unmatched learning experience for participants. Every STP course is activity-based, with discussions, case histories, problems, and exercises. Participants in STP courses draw upon their field experience and learn by interaction with others from all areas of the construction industry.
