Gavilan College established an advisory committee for the Construction Management Program and they approved the new 15 unit Certificate of Achievement on April 6, 2020. See attached document. We have also attached, for your review, the COR for each of the 5 classes that make up this certificate.

A Construction Management program can be found at Cabrillo College. As they offer 3 Certificates of Achievement - Construction Management, Inspection and Construction Codes, and Energy Management - minimal impact should be felt by their program. Cabrillo College's CE Dean Gerlinde Brady is the contact person Gavilan College's CE Dean Sherrean Carr worked with and they support our efforts.
