Construction Specification Institute’s Construction Documents Technology (CDT) Certification provides foundational training in construction processes, roles and responsibilities, and construction documentation for architects, contractors, contract administrators, specifiers, and manufacturers’ representatives.

CDT credentials are evidence of proven knowledge, education, and experience with construction documents and project delivery.
