The CISC offers two accreditation programs that are unique to the steel construction industry. These accreditations distinguish an elite network of industry professionals who have reinforced their expertise in steel fabrication and installation.
Through a combination of training and examinations, we ensure that CISC accredited individuals have the right competencies to identify and implement the correct codes/standards/design practices in building projects.
