CMIT Level 3 Letter of Experience

The Construction Manager-in-Training Level 3 (CMIT® L3) designation is an extension of the CMIT certificate, which recognizes professionals who are invested in the construction management industry and their own professional development. Earning the CMIT L3 demonstrates your continued growth and professional competence as a construction manager.

*Experience in each of the functional practice areas of CM is defined as time spent working in that professional discipline. There is no CMIT requirement for this experience to be as responsible-in-charge (RIC). For more on RIC, please see the CCM Application Handbook.
