CMIT Level 3 Letter of Experience

The Construction Manager-in-Training Level 3 (CMIT® L3) designation is an extension of the CMIT certificate, which recognizes professionals who are invested in the construction management industry and their own professional development. Earning the CMIT L3 demonstrates your continued growth and professional competence as a construction manager.
