MEET OUR FACULTY & INSTRUCTORS
Your construction instructors are experienced working professionals who bring several years of wisdom, knowledge and expertise to all of our building and construction online courses.They are at or near the top of their profession in estimating, project management, construction supervision or other construction disciplines and have a heart for helping our students to advance their careers.

Every CEI Instructor Embodies These Qualities:
Experience
Everyone who is invited to teach at CEI comes with a ton of hands-on experience. You can be assured that your instructor has a wealth of real world construction experience in the subject they are teaching and they are willing to share that experience and knowledge with you within our building and construction online courses.
Education
Our expert construction instructors are all college educated with a minimum of a bachelors or masters in construction management or a related subject (engineering, architecture, or business administration). They have also achieved certifications and invest their time as proud members in industry organizations and volunteers for important causes.
Commitment
Our instructors are all committed to education and giving back to the industry they have dedicated their career toward. Helping others to achieve their educational goals is an important way of paying it forward to individual workers and to improving the overall industry. That’s why they bring their all to the table in every single building and construction online course. In other words, they are able to pass on their blueprint for success to all of our students!
Experienced Construction Students Can BecomeTeachers
Several of our expert instructors have actually taken our building and construction online course as students and know exactly what it is like to be a student at CEI. They are well aware of how our courses look from a student’s perspective and understand the challenges and opportunities involved with online learning.
Responsibilities of Facilitators
Our instructors can more accurately be called facilitators because they help students navigate the course. The instructors post weekly grades, are available to answer questions, and, depending on the instructor and the subject matter, may participate in academic discussions or post mini-lectures to further clarify the subject matter. The instructors do not go after students to get work done on time, and they certainly don’t nag excessively.
