Hello, In order to do schedules as an individual consultant, do I need to have a schrduling certificate "officially" in USA? For exame to do engineering you need a PE licence, everybody knows that. But how about doing scheduling? I read in this site that there are a couple widely recognized certification, such as pmp-sp and aace. But these are not officially reqired correct? Of course it would be nice to have but without these one can still do schedules to various construction firms correct? Also I would need a special liability insurance for scheduling? Just in case...

    Hi Ahmet

    I don't know the details in the USA - Rafael can tell you that - but in the UK there is not yet any formal qualification for a freelance planner / scheduler.

    You get your business from reputation and references.

    Most of us work under a Limited Company for tax purposes and carry professional indemnity insurance.

    Best regards

    In united states there is no formal required certification for Project Schedulers but having a good scheduling certification certaily doesn't hurt!

    There are some positions that ask for AACEis PSP or PMI-SP or even PMP as a prefered or required certification. You can see it yourself in Indeed or Monster etc.
