About Gold Seal Certification

The Gold Seal Certification Program can trace its roots back to 1973 with the release of an extensive construction management study by an industry advisory body to the Federal Ministry of Industry Trade & Commerce. The national study pointed out shortcomings of construction management development and made several recommendations to improve management effectiveness through education.

As a result, the Construction Management Development Institute (CMDI) was established in 1981 to coordinate the necessary activities to improve management effectiveness. The Institute operated for 10 years undertaking several initiatives in pursuit of this objective. A key objective was the development of a national set of standards for construction management occupations. The project became known as the Gold Seal Certification program.
