Project SuperVISION for
Supervisors
Certification process
Carolinas AGC member companies designed
the Carolinas AGC Professional Construction Supervisor
Certification Program for employees of member companies.
The Project SuperVISION® certification mission is to:
- Encourage talented people to pursue a professional supervisory career in the construction industry;
- Retain current supervisors and encourage development and continuous improvement in their skills and knowledge;
- Recognize and reward outstanding performers for their efforts and contributions to member firms and the construction industry in general.
This approach recognizes that good supervisors develop their competencies through a combination of: on the job training and experience; formal education; specialized continuing education; and energetic leaders and role models. Achieving certification is a thorough process to assure that the highest standards are maintained and that requirements are established with fairness and careful study.
For anyone currently performing as a construction supervisor, the program can increase your visibility and project opportunities. For aspiring newcomers to the industry considering a professional career in construction, the supervision program will give you the tools needed to learn, grow, and manage your career objectives. While achieving certification at any level will not guarantee a persons’ employment or compensation objectives, it will offer a number of opportunities to influence the career development within the construction industry.
In a balance of structure and flexibility, the program is based on the competencies listed below. Under each category a list of activities helps measure on-the-job training and experience of the supervisor applying for certification.
Project SuperVISION® consists of four levels of Certification:
- Construction Supervisor (CS)
- Professional Construction Supervisor (PCS)
- Professional Construction Supervisor (Senior)
- Professional Construction Supervisor (Master). Each level
contains different requirements.
