Cert in Building/Construction Finishing, Management, and Inspection

The Building Construction certificate is a flexible credential for developing skills useful in the construction industry. Students select their own mix of courses from an approved list. Safety and residential code courses are required, and the rest of the plan is built from elective choices. The education can count toward the experience requirements of the Contractor's Licensing Board. Students are prepared for inspection, management and skilled trade positions. In the college catalog this program is listed as eligible for financial aid. Orange Coast College publishes the requirements in its 2026-2027 academic catalog, which sets out the required courses, the intended learning outcomes and a suggested sequence of study. A counselor can help each student map out the semesters.
