Training course

Construction Methods and Techniques

32 hours

A 32-hour online CCPE training program under Category A — Planning, Design, Construction Methods and Techniques (A.1.24). Practical construction methods and field implementation techniques for concreting, road projects, flood control and drainage structures, and bridge construction — four 8-hour modules delivered fully online.

About the Program

CCPE Category A — Planning, Design, Construction Methods and Techniques (A.1.24)

To support engineers pursuing Regular Accreditation under the DPWH Certified Construction Project Engineer (CCPE) Program, J3 Trainers and Consultants, Inc. (J3TCI) offers a 32-Hour Specialized Training Program on Construction Methods and Techniques.

The course provides engineers with practical knowledge and modern approaches in the execution of infrastructure projects, focusing on effective construction techniques, construction planning integration, and field implementation methods used in roadworks, bridge construction, flood control structures, and concrete works.

The 32-hour program is divided into four (4) modules of eight (8) hours each, covering critical infrastructure construction methodologies widely used in public works and private construction projects. Upon completion of the four modules, participants will be issued a Certificate of Completion, which may be used to comply with the training requirement for CCPE Regular Accreditation.

The training is facilitated by experienced construction professionals, engineers, and industry practitioners, ensuring that participants gain both technical knowledge and practical field-based insights.

Why This Course Matters

The supplied program positions this course as part of the technical preparation for Contractors’/Consultants’ Project Engineer accreditation.
