The Associate Commissioning Professional (ACP) can be a stepping stone to Cx Providers starting their journey in this profession. Once they study for, take and pass the ACP test, they can use their proven knowledge to commission projects, using the profession's best practices, until they are able to qualify for the CCP.
For other professionals, the ACP is a certification that demonstrates their knowledge of the Cx Process as they interface with Cx Providers and project teams. Potential ACP recipients could include anyone who procures and/or manages commissioning contracts, supports the inclusion of commissioning on portfolio facilities, commissioning educators, operations and maintenance facilities personnel and those who enforce code-required commissioning.
