Procore Has Hundreds of Free Continuing Education Courses on their Website

procore ce courses

Many certifications in the construction and design world require continuing education (CE) credits to keep the person who holds them eligible to renew their license.  Typically, each hour spent in a seminar or other type of training is considered 1 continuing education credit. 

Finding applicable courses can prove to be a real pain in the butt, however. If you can find an in-person seminar or training session near you, it still has to work with your schedule or your budget.  Some continuing education courses can cost you or your company hundreds of dollars.

Procore, one of the leaders in construction project management software, has recently released 16 new continuing education courses over a variety of different topics.  More importantly, the courses are free, online, and you don’t even have to be a paid user on Procore to take advantage of them. In total, there are currently 168 CE eligible courses currently on their education platform.

The courses are broken out into 7 different categories: Health & Safety, Technology, Building Science, Industry Insights, QA/QC, CM Essentials, and Leading Practices.  The courses are approved by several organizations within the industry, including AIA, CCM, American Institute of Constructors, Refuel, AIBD, and the Institute of Certified Construction Industry Financial Professionals.

Specifically, some of the most recent courses include:

Even if you don’t need CE credits, the courses could still prove useful to you and your team for training purposes.

Want to Walk Off a Construction Job? Do These Things First

One of the toughest things to deal with on any project can be the relationships between owner and general contractor or the general contractor and subcontractor. In the worst case scenarios, tensions between those relationships can sometimes lead to one of those parties packing up their tools and walking off the job before it’s complete. But that action may make the situation a little hairier than you might expect, if you don’t do it the right way.

The 7 Biggest Construction Safety Stories of 2020

2020 was a challenging year in many respects, but none greater than from a safety standpoint.

While the pandemic was a large part of the construction safety conversation last year, there were several other developments to take note of for your projects in the future.
