CCPR®


The Certified Construction Product Representative (CCPR®) exam designation has changed to bring more value to the profession and boost job potential and marketability for those who become certified.

A Certified Construction Product Representative (CCPR®), must pass both the CDT® and CCPR® exams. This demonstrates you have foundational knowledge about the project delivery process, team members’ roles, and construction documents AND specialty expertise in your role and responsibilities as a product representative.

Earning this combination of certifications will immediately establish your credibility with specifiers. They will know you have what it takes to get the job done right. 

Earning a dual certification will:

  • Increase your earning potential
  • Differentiate you from your peers
  • Position you as a trusted advisor
  • Elevate your profession


Why is CDT® a prerequisite for the CCPR®? 

In a CSI survey of construction product/manufacturer representatives conducted in Fall 2020, the findings concluded the CDT® exam contained knowledge vital to the role of someone at the level of a CCPR®. The CDT® provides foundational knowledge about the project delivery process, team members’ roles, and construction documents – all critical intel for a product representative. The CCPR® validates your specialty expertise by going deeper into the roles and responsibilities of a product representative while also emphasizing the importance of professional development and relationship building.

Current knowledge domains and content in the CCPR® exam reflect how product representatives conduct business in today’s marketplace. The exam is shorter, reducing overlap with the CDT® exam. It consists of 70 questions focused on these knowledge domains: 

Effective 2021
Professional Development & Relationship Building 13%
Pre-Design 30%
Design Phase 25%
Procurement 15%
Construction 17%

Group Registration: If your organization has 10 or more certification applicants, please get in touch with Jess Dowling for group registration and pricing.


What about recertification?

All CSI certifications require maintenance every 3 years in order to continue using the designations after one’s name. Certificants who have passed both CDT® and CCPR® may decide to: 

  • maintain both credentials. CCPRs who maintain their CDT may use both the CCPR and CDT designations. 

  • maintain only the CCPR. CCPRs who do not maintain their CDT may use only the CCPR designation.
