GOLD SEAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

The CCA Gold Seal Certification Program is a national program for construction Project Managers, Superin-tendents, Estimators and Owners. Certification is based on the candidate’s education, experience and their ability to satisfy the rigorous standards of the Program. This may mean the successful completion of a Gold Seal exam. The Gold Seal Certificate was developed by the industry for the industry, and is a voluntary certification program for the in-dividual. The Certificate signifies that the individual has at-tained a nationally-recognized level of experience and competence as a Project Manager, Superintendent, Estimator or Owners. CEC is a sup-

porter of the Gold Seal program and attempts to make every effort possible to have all of its qualifying courses Gold Seal Accredited. For the individual – the Gold Seal Certificate is a declaration of skill and competence that is recognized by the construction industry across the country. The Certifi-cate will enhance mobility and professional development of construction managers. For the contractor – employing Gold Seal Certified managers is a statement regarding the professionalism and commitment of the firm to construction

* Gold Seal Accredited courses are indicated (GSA) in the Tables on pages 26 to 30

management excellence. A Gold Seal Certificate assists employers in re-cruiting capable construction managers.

The steps for planning and implementing the documentation process for a mechanical construction project will be reviewed. (Half day) Instructor: John R. Koontz


Managing Labour: Coding, Tracking and Forecasting Successful journeymen with unique abilities, but little or no management training, are frequently promoted to “foreman” and lead crews of workers on mechanical projects. This session explores basic management skills relative to the position of jobsite foreman. Topics covered include the relationship between leadership and management, management ability vs. technical savvy, consistency in managing others, the importance of organization and standardization, motivating others to perform, delegation skills and working with difficult people. (Half day) Instructor: John R. Koontz

Qualities, Characteristics and Habits of the Industry’s Best Foremen Why are some mechanical foremen consistently more effective and success-ful than others in the industry? While age, experience, attitude and talent are important factors in a foreman’s success, most of the qualities, characteristics and habits of the industry’s best foremen are skills that can be learned over time by any foreman who has the attitude, aptitude, and desire to improve and succeed. This session will focus on “best practice” topics such as planning, safety, production, material handling, integrity/ethics, leadership, budget awareness and cost control, and more. (Half day) Instructor: John R. Koontz


Creating Highly Effective Foremen/Project Manager PartnershipsProject managers and foremen have no margin of error, and must be on the same page and operate as one from project beginning to end. In this session, John R. Koontz will identify and explain the top 10 components that define a great partnership. He will provide an interactive session that clearly portrays why all wildly successful projects have two highly effective leaders who understand the importance of working hard to develop a strong project partnership.

WEBINARS

What is a Webinar?If you are one of those people whose head is spinning with all the

new Internet terms like blog, podcast or netiquette, here’s one more: A webinar is a “web seminar.” It allows people to connect online to view a live presentation, which includes audio and video. In most cases webinars also allow for interaction between the attendees and the presenter, such as a question and answer time, or allowing people to request their site be examined as an example of whatever the topic is.

Why a Webinar?The biggest advantage of the webinar is convenience. There’s no travel

and no hotel costs. You can attend a webinar straight from your desk at work. Another great advantage of webinars is the cost. Webinars are an affordable way to provide training to your employees. More than one employee can share in on the same webinar. A mechanical contractor also values his or her time. Time allows you to meet with customers, resolve problems in the field or in the office, and to work on management and leadership skills.

By offering webinars, CEC can assist you in the latter by bringing you affordable, top quality training without leaving your desk or disrupting the flow of work on a jobsite.


Each year the CEC will strive to offer a webinar series that is timely and relevant. Most webinars will take place at 12:00 p.m. Eastern, but if you are unable to participate at that time, you can still take advantage of the education offered, as all webinars will be recorded and available to all paid attendees.
