About CSI Certification
CSI professional credentials are available to members & non-members as evidence of proven knowledge, education, and experience with construction documents. Holding a certification demonstrates professional commitment in Hawaii, credibility & reliability to employers, colleagues, and clients.
Our local chapter of CSI is committed to helping individuals in Hawaii achieve certification in the foundational courses that lead to advanced certification by holding local preparation classes in Hawaii. This year the chapter is honored to have the Honolulu Community College Architecture, Engineering & Construction Technologies host the classes on the HCC AEC Center campus to provide a comfortable venue for networking, learning, and fun!
