Certified Contract Administrators guarantee fairness and consistency when overseeing an infrastructure project, benefiting owners, clients and the public. They are an integral part of every MMCD infrastructure project, and our degree of professionalism and training means that project stakeholders can rest assured knowing they are working with a dedicated, informed individual.
This course is typically run in Vancouver, but are happy to host the session anywhere in B.C. so long as we have a minimum of 20 students.
