Applications for demolition supervisor certification open

Premium Content

The National Demolition Association (NDA) in the United States is now accepting applications for its Certified Demolition Supervisor (CDS) qualification.

The CDS certification recognizes individuals who have demonstrated competence in demolition of structures, including but not limited to structural, selective, interior, or dismantlement. A CDS is accountable for all aspects of a demolition project site, including safety, environmental, operations, and people management. The CDS designation promotes safe and quality practice through its ongoing requirements for professional growth in the demolition industry.

The deadline to apply to take the Certified Demolition Supervisor (CDS) is Friday 8 December, 2023.

To obtain the CDS certification, individuals must meet certain requirements and then pass a 110-question exam. The CDS exam was created by demolition professionals, so each exam question can be related to real-life demolition experiences.

For more information on the CDS and to apply to take the exam, visit the NDA website: www.demolitionassociation.com

NDA President opens the 2023 World Demolition Summit James Milburn welcomes over 400 delegates, representing 151 companies from 18 countries around the world to the demolition industry’s biggest event of the year.
