Each construction class is online. A new module is released each week. The module may have instructional videos, clickable written lectures, discussion boards, assignments, and the weekly quiz. You will have all week to complete the assigned tasks. All work is due the following Sunday.

Each class has an instructor. Our instructors are construction professionals with decades of specialized experience in estimating, building, civil site work, supervision, and project management.

If you are enrolled in one of the self-paced classes such as 101 Introduction to Construction Estimating or 102 Essential Construction Math a new module will open once you have taken the quiz for the prior module. For example, once you take the quiz for Module 1, Module 2 will open. You will always have access to prior modules.

Once you have completed the registration process and we are notified by the school, construction classes@gmail.com will issue you a password with directions on how to get started in the class.

Students enrolled in paced classes are sent class access one week prior to the start of class. As soon as you receive an email with your login information you can access your online class(es).

Students enrolled in self-paced classes are sent class access within one to two working days of registration.

Our online construction classes are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Log in several times throughout the week to contribute to and keep up with the online discussions. When you log in is up to you.

Most of our courses require about 4 or 6 hours per week of effort on your part. Log into the online classroom early in the week when the weekly module is released. Then, log in several times throughout the week to keep up with the discussions.

Be active and involved in the course. Participate in discussion groups where case studies, industry problems and other topics are discussed. Stay engaged by responding to questions posted on the discussion board. Respond to other students’ work. Work out solutions to problems presented, discuss applicable construction experience or ask questions. If you do not have an experience to share, study your textbook. Use the instructor selected resources at the end of each lesson to further your education.

Check the Class Schedule anytime to stay informed of classes available for the upcoming semester.

Sign up for the newsletter. The newsletter highlights the upcoming classes and is sent three weeks before the start of class.

CEI will send you a link to your online classroom with your login information from constructionclasses@ gmail.com. The email will not come from the organization you registered through.

No, they are about the same as far as difficulty is concerned. If you are just looking for an easy way to get a grade don’t take an online class. You will learn just as much and work just as hard in our online courses as you would in a classroom course.
