Function: The Guild of Project Controls Certification Board are trustees who act on behalf of the Guild of Project Control organization to support those practitioners seeking to become Certified by the Guild.  More specifically the Certification Board is responsible for reviewing the findings and recommendations of Guild Assessors and either accepting (approving) or rejecting those recommendations and making the final decision as to whether a practitioner should be issued with the Certification that he / she has applied for.

It is the Guild Assessors role to review the applicants experience profile, certification deliverables, examination results and video conference assessment for each Certification candidate and make recommendation to the Certification Board for approval or rejection.

The Certification Board will receive such Guild Assessor recommendation in accordance with the following:

  • Fellow Level – receive recommendation from 3 Guild Assessors
  • Expert and Master Level – receive recommendation from 2 Guild Assessors
  • Specialist Level – receive recommendation from 1 Guild Assessor
  • Professional Level – receive recommendation from Guild Admin (is a pass / fail on exam)

Certification Board members accomplish their functions through regular face to face or virtual board meetings / dialogue and by establishing an appropriately sized committee structure.  

Practitioners taking on these prestigious part-time roles would be encouraged to consider carrying our presentations and attending events for and on behalf of the Guild of Project Controls.
