What is a Certified Construction Manager?
Structure
The CCM Exam: The examination is a computer-based test comprised of multiple choice questions. Candidates are currently allowed 240 minutes to complete the exam. There are 175 questions on the exam but only 150 questions are scored. The remaining 25 questions are pilot questions being beta tested for use on future exam forms. The 25 un-scored pilot questions are not identified to the candidate and are randomly mixed within the exam.
The CCM exam specifications were developed by combining the importance, criticality, and frequency data obtained from the Job Task Analysis. The test specifications in the table below list the domains, sub-domains, and the percentage of the test included in each domain and how much of the sub-domain will be covered throughout the exam.
Eligibility Requirements
Responsible-In-Charge Experience: The candidate’s experience must be recognized during project execution as a key part of a project delivery team. The candidate must have had sufficient accountability to assure direct responsibility for the supervision of the Construction Management staff, for project decision making, the delivery of Construction Management services, and communication with and coordination of the other project participants, specifically owners, design professionals, consultants, suppliers, vendors, and contractors.
