About AACE

 

Who We Are

With 7,000 members in 100 countries, AACE International has been serving the total cost management community since 1956. We are committed to the constructive exchange of ideas between members, development of technical guidance and quality education and recognition of subject matter experts. Our members work in a variety of disciplines and across all industries.

For over 40 years AACE has been certifying individuals. We offer the following certifications: Certified Cost Professional (CCP), Certified Cost Technician (CCT), Certified Estimating Professional (CEP), Certified Forensic Claims Consultant (CFCC), Earned Value Professional (EVP), Decision and Risk Management Professional (DRMP), Certified Scheduling Technician (CST) and Planning & Scheduling Professional (PSP). AACE’s CCP, CCT, CEP, CST, EVP, and PSP certifications are independently accredited by the Council of Engineering and Scientific Specialty Boards.

What Does "AACE" Stand For?

The legal name since 1992 is AACE International. In 1956 the organization was established as the American Association of Cost Engineers. While you may have seen that “AACE” stands for the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering, this is only a statement that encompasses the work of the Association, not a legal name.

New AACE International Website

by AACE International | Oct 03, 2016

We are excited to announce the newly designed AACE International website. Our new, dynamic, and responsive website will work effectively on your PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Our members and customers trust us to provide relevant, timely information and resources and we want to make that information more easily accessible to you.

We have made the new website faster, more user-friendly, and easier to navigate.  Our pages are uncluttered so you can find what you are looking for faster.

One of the most noticeable changes in our new website is the navigation, which is separated into five main categories: Membership, Certification, Professional and Technical Resources, Meetings & Events, and About AACE.

The Membership area includes information for potential members on AACE membership options and member benefits.  For our members, you will find information on awards, Sections, and volunteer opportunities. Certifications will guide you through information on all 8 of AACE’s certifications and how to recertify. Professional and Technical Resources includes all of AACE’s technical and educational resources, including access to the technical products and virtual communities. Meetings and Events provides information on the Annual Meeting, other events and information for sponsors and exhibitors. About AACE is where you will find detailed information about AACE including volunteer leaders and staff, and our governing documents.  

If you previously bookmarked AACE’s website, you will need to update your bookmarks as the URL has changed for nearly all of the pages.

The first time you login you will be taken to your profile to ensure we have the most up to date information. If you do not have an AACE profile you will be directed to create one.
