The Certified Cost Engineer Course will accelerate the development of your professional skills
The course is focused on application of Cost Engineering in the process industry (petrochemical, food and beverages etc.) However, during the course parallels will be drawn to different industries, such as construction and infrastructure. Therefore the course will be very instructive and valuable for a broad range of engineers working in many different areas related to project costs. The CCE course will help you develop your professional skills and competences to be a successful cost estimator, planner and cost controller in a wide range of project types.
Dutch Association of Cost Engineers (DACE) is founded to share and promote Cost Engineering knowledge. DACE is a non-profit organization supported by industry. DACE organizes courses, network activities, price booklets and labour norms.
Certified Cost Engineer Course by Jeroen Suppers
The DACE CCE course is mainly set-up for Cost Engineering in the process industry. So why should a Cost Engineer from a machine-building company even consider to attend it? Well, because despite the differences in fields of application, I have experienced that there are many similarities with our day-to-day challenges!
It all started with the ambition to improve my knowledge about Cost Engineering in order to improve Cost Management within Marel. I successfully finished the course in 2020 and in the 1.5 years it took, the various subjects and group activities provided me both theoretical and practical knowledge, which I could directly apply within my company. It has supported the development of Marel's Global Costing Process to improve the focus of the project team on cost price during our projects. Moreover, I achieved a better view on cost price determination and its uncertainties and have a better understanding of managing target cost prices (budgets) and dealing with changes in time which helps the project team to meet the expected project outcome.
I look back to an intense study period, but the course has given me a lot of personal and work value and broadened my view on Cost Engineering, from food processing machines to chemical processing plants!
Fokke de Vries en Richard van Tricht volgden de opleiding Certified Cost Engineering van
DACE. De opleiding richt zich op toepassing van Cost Engineering in de procesindustrie
zoals petrochemie, voedsel en dranken aan een breed scala aan ingenieurs. Wat heeft de
opleiding hen gebracht? Van Tricht: “De opleiding heeft mijn loopbaan prima geholpen.
De DACE Cost Engineer-opleiding staat hoog aangeschreven in de industrie.” De Vries:
“Door het denken in kosten en risico’s kan ik nu op verschillende niveaus van gedachten
wisselen en adviezen geven.”
