Free CDT Certification Webinar for ARE Candidates - Thurs Jan 29. 2026

If you're studying for the ARE, listen up.

I want to invite you to a free webinar this Thursday where I'm breaking down everything you need to know about the Construction Documents Technologist (CDT) certification.

Did you know that 80% of what you're doing to study for PcM, PjM, and CE is directly applicable to the CDT exam?

You've already done the hardest part. Why not pick up an extra credential as you march towards getting your architecture license?

I know what you're thinking: "Won't that distract me from my ARE?"

Nope. It's actually the opposite. The CDT reinforces what you're already learning. It doesn't take away from your path to licensure. It adds to it.

NCARB even gives generous amounts of AXP credit for passing the other CSI Certifications, but the CDT is the first step and a prerequisite to those other certifications.

Many of our ARE Boot Camp students have taken advantage of this and picked up their CDT without disrupting their ARE progress. Now they have a tangible certification before they've even finished their architect exams.

I am hosting this free webinar to break down what the CDT is, how it ties into the ARE, and how to prepare for it.

Important: CDT registration opens next week, and there's a specific testing window. Think of it like buying a plane ticket. Book early, save money. Wait until the last minute and there may not even be an option to take it.

I'll break down the whole schedule at the webinar.

Can't attend live? Register anyway and get the recording.

This Thursday, January 29th at 7pm ET | 6pm CT | 5pm MT | 4pm PT (it's only 1 hour and it's free)
