Construction Management
Community College of Aurora offers two certificates in its Construction program - Construction Estimating and Construction Superintendent.
The field of construction management is booming in the Aurora and greater Denver area - CCA's Construction Management program offers students an opportunity to earn a certificate in two growing fields: construction estimating and construction superintendent.
The Construction Management programs are provided by in partnership with the BuildStrong Academy of Colorado.
