You’re not alone when you make connections with a network of well over 10,000 respected peers and feel part of a large and inclusive group of like-minded professionals. All that stands you apart and gives you a powerful competitive edge.
“Having my Gold Seal Certification shows the dedication I’ve put into my career and profession. It goes a long way on-site with being taken seriously. The Gold Seal Certification helps solidify who I am, my experience, and it helped me feel confident when I returned to work post-leave,” says Danielle Moe, GSC, safety manager for Ward Bros. Construction Ltd.
“If you want to be a recognized professional, this is a great certification to possess. It provides you with advantages that you never knew existed,” says Daniel Berrette, GSC, superintendent with Ledcor Construction.

“In my family business, the GSC has always been an important aspect for the company because it’s an asset for the company. We value it immensely and know it’s a great thing to have for ongoing education,” said Teri Urban, GSC, safety coordinator for her family’s general contracting firm. “I’m going out and I’m making sure I have the extra education and that I’m striving to be my best, which in turn helps the company get projects.”
Attract and retain excellence Companies that build Gold Seal Certification into their hiring and training practices demonstrate that they are committed to the professional development of their employees and show that they are willing to invest in the ongoing education and advancement of their staff. That’s good for recruitment and great for retention.
Make a difference with GSC At the end of the day, Gold Seal Certification can make all the difference at decision time. Tim Casler, GSC, agrees. “When the company I work for is pre-tendering or applying for a project, having a GSC supervisor is a pretty big thing,” said Casler.
