Procore Certifications & Continuing Education Courses
PROCORE CERTIFICATIONS
Procore's certification courses are video-based tutorials that teach students the basics of Procore and how to utilize the software’s most common tools. In addition, these certification courses have been created for specific roles (i.e., general contractors, specialty contractors, architects/engineers, owners, and students). After passing a final test, students can post their certificates of completion to their LinkedIn profile simply by entering their profile's website. Students can either sign up to take these free courses by logging in with their Procore account credentials, or by clicking the orange "Sign In" button at the top right of the page and registering for a guest account if they do not have access to a Procore account.
STUDENT CERTIFICATION
Procore's student certification course provides students with the opportunity to learn the tools they are most likely to encounter in their jobs when they graduate. The course takes 2-3 hours to complete, and covers preconstruction, core, project management, quality and safety, and financial management tool sets.
