GOLD SEAL CERTIFICATION

What is the Gold Seal Certification?

​Gold Seal Certified (GSC) construction management professionals have attained the highest standard of excellence in the industry, have proven industry experience, and are held in the highest regard.

​
Companies that employ GSC professionals are seen as leaders for their commitment to quality and excellence through education, training, and continual skill development. The Gold Seal program is maintained by the industry, for the industry. The program is administered by the Canadian Construction Association (CCA), a member-driven organization that represents all facets of the construction industry in Canada.
