Claims Consulting Expert

Overview

  1. What is the CMI-CCE Certification?

    For individuals who are highly experienced in claims consultancy, the CMI's Claims Consulting Expert (CCE) certification provides them with the opportunity to progress into a senior consultant role. This is a more advanced certification than the CMI-CCP.
    This certification gives those who hold it an expert level of skill in advanced elements of claims such as effective claims preparation and complex dispute resolution as well as expert witness services.
    CMI-CCEs also have the skills to be more involved in preparing effective claims with a strong legal involvement and to incorporate quantum analysis. CMI-CCEs will likely have the skills to have more responsibility within the business than those who are CMI-CCPs and may have the task of leading those they supervise.
  2. Why Should You Choose the CMI-CCE?

    The CMI-CCE certification will allow you to promptly progress into senior levels of claims consulting. By earning this certification, you will likely not only increase your salary, but also your job satisfaction, particularly if you are responsible for leading a team. Although experience alone in a business is valuable, the extra acknowledgement of the certification shows that you have continued to update and add to your professional skills, keeping up with the standards that are required in a senior role. In addition, you will be broadening your horizons within the consultancy area and will have the skillset to face new and exciting challenges, which will enhance all areas of your professional development. With a CMI-CCE certification, you will eventually be in a position to earn your claims consulting master certification.
  3. Why Are Businesses Looking for CMI-CCEs?

    The expert level of skill that the CMI-CCE certification presents is highly desirable to businesses. They want to invest in the right people to protect their business from losses and to effectively resolve disputes. Those who commit to further certifications offer proof that they are highly involved in self-development and would be equally dedicated to a business as well. The CMI-CCE shows an elevated standard of claims consulting, which is necessary for some of the more high-risk construction projects.
