AGC SAN DIEGO CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT
26-WEEK CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
Designed for New Project Managers & Engineers, Foremen, Superintendents, & those wanting to go to the next level!
February 15, 2017 to January 24, 2018 I Meets EVERY OTHER Wednesday for 26 weeks
This 26-week Project Management certificate program, spanning over a year, is “quarterbacked” by Paul Stout of Power Summit
Inc. Paul provides educational programs and facilitation services to construction professionals. During this Project Management
program, Paul teams with experienced and successful project managers and project executives to better equip the students with
the essential skills they must develop to become outstanding construction project managers. The skills developed in the Project
Management Program apply to large and small projects, product design and development efforts, construction projects, and any
project with critical performance, time, and budget targets.
We hear from employers of the AGC San Diego Project Management program graduates on a regular basis. They’re unanimous in
their praise for the program, and the difference it makes in the productivity and performance of each graduate. One employer
recently commented about a promising project manager who participated in the program, stating they “started improving
beginning with the first session and continuing all the way through the program.” The employer went on to say that the difference
between her PM’s that completed the program and those who hadn’t was a “night and day” contrast. The AGC PM graduates
were “distinguishing themselves” on their projects and were “making money” for the firm.
