........."RAISING THE BAR & SETTING THE STANDARDS"
Meeting the need of a construction industry with increasing standardization, pre-qualification requirements and a growing shortage of able professionals, the American Society of Professional Estimators announce the development of two new estimating proficiency exams.

Though they are not a part of the actual Society certification process, the exams were developed by the ASPE Certification Board. The ASPE Standards Board has oversight of the program and proctoring is done by Certified Professional Estimators.

ESTIMATING PROFICIENCY TWO (EP2)

EP2 will be an exam which any [non-certified*] estimator with a minimum of two years experience can take to verify their knowledge of basic and advanced estimating skills.

The EP2 exam has been dubbed the "Construction Estimator Recognition" and should provide those who pass the opportunity to show their employers or prospective employers they hold certain abilities. See more...

EMPLOYERS: Feedback from many sources tells us, that company owners will likely require estimating applicants take this test to verify their abilities prior to employment. See more......

Once rolled out nationally the EP2 exam will be available "on demand", via a computerized method at approx. 180 locations in the USA and Canada.

Those who complete & pass the EP2 exam will receive a certificate from ASPE National offices.

ESTIMATING PROFICIENCY 1 (EP1)

EP1 (still in completion process) will be an exam, which tests entry level commercial and residential estimating professionals to verify for employers that they have certain skills. Employers may ask for the test in order to confirm basic abilities in their junior estimators.

Some universities and other estimating training facilities are looking at using the exam as a benchmark for completion of their courses.

More information on these exams will be available soon.
