Construction Quality Management for Contractors (CQM-C Certification)
What is CQM-C?
A CQM (Construction Quality Management for Contractors) certification is a mandatory credential for Quality Control (QC) managers working on U.S. federal construction projects.
Key details of the CQM-C program include:
- Certification Requirement: It is a contractual requirement for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) construction projects, and acts as a prerequisite for anyone acting as a contractor's Quality Control (QC) Manager.
- Validity: The certificate is issued directly by the USACE and remains valid for five years from the date of completion.
- Course Format: It is typically delivered as a 1-day workshop held in various parts of Virginia throughout the year (see dates and locations below.)
- Examination: Those who complete the class and pass the test leave with a certificate the same day.
- Who Should Attend: Field superintendents, project managers, quality control (QC) managers, and site safety officers.

Did you know that successful completion of CQM-C course by QC managers and their alternates is required by both USACE and NAVFAC construction contract specifications?
NAVFAC design build specifications require both construction QC managers and design QC managers to have successfully completed the course.
CQM certification is typically a contractual requirement and an integral component of quality management for Federal government construction projects.
If you are an owner, A/E, inspector, construction manager, or facility engineer, particularly if you are doing public sector construction, this program could be of huge benefit to you.
