2010 Examination Study Sessions
For CDT Program and CCS, CCPR, CCCA Certifications Exams
The St. Louis Chapter of the Construction Specifications Institute will conduct free study sessions and workshops covering the CSI Project Resource Manual and the AIA/EJCDC General Conditions. For more information about the exams, please log on to www.csinet.org and click the "certification" symbol.

These study sessions have been developed for candidates registered to take the CDT and Certification Examinations. However, anyone in the construction industry is welcome to attend to gain a better understanding of CSI's Manual of Practice.

There is no cost for these sessions, but attendees should obtain a copy of the CSI Project Resource Manual, available at www.csinet.org and the AIA 201 General Conditions of the Contract for Construction 2007 edition, which is available at the St. Louis Chapter, AIA Bookstore (314)621-3484, 911 Washington Ave, St. Louis, MO.

The purpose of the Project Resource Manual is to outline recommended techniques and philosophy for preparing, organizing, using and interpreting construction documents. It does not contain technical knowledge and the ability to develop a project manual that only comes through knowledge and ability gained through education and professional experience in the office and in the field.

Forms will be available for individuals wishing to gain AIA Learning Units (HSW) by attending these study sessions. The St. Louis Chapter of the CSI is underwriting the cost of handouts for these sessions. In order to prevent undue cost to the Chapter, we ask that you contact us so that we have an accurate count of attendees at each session. Please contact our certifications co-chair at dkoppy@kai-db.com to let him know which sessions you will be attending.
