Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
Although it is not required, many cost estimators find it helpful to become certified to improve their standing within the professional community. Obtaining certification proves that the estimator has adequate job training and education. Information on certification procedures is available from organizations such as the American Society of Professional Estimators, AACE International, and the International Cost Estimating and Analysis Association. Those who become certified have met educational and experience requirements and passed an examination.
