Note also the Young Architect education topics, a great innovation from the Albuquerque Chapter. Links to preliiminary schedules for both the Region conference and the day-long Continuing Education Conference can also be found on the Region website front page Upcoming Events.

CERTIFICATION
SPRING EXAM PERIOD MARCH 28 - APRIL 9, 2011
FINAL REGISTRATION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 26, 2011
Only a week left to register! Word is that there was a nation-wide flurry of signups at the last minute of the early registration period. The value of CSI certification is known! Don't let a few extra bucks stand in the way of your being more highly qualified in the industry. If you haven't registered yet, Sign up
This editor made the long-considered, but not previously acted upon, decision to go for the CCCA exam. It has a tough reputation, so I'm workin' at it already! We have a study group of 4 for this exam in the Denver area, and I'm glad for the company.
Don't forget that tests this fall and subsequent years will based on newly written Practice Guide materials, and not the Project Resource Manual (PRM). |
