CTQP Final Estimates Level 2 – Training Course
Earn your FDOT Final Estimates Level 2 qualification through the complete FDOT-accredited training course. This is the required path for first-time (initial) qualifiers, combining two days of instruction with a proctored written examination.
What Is the FE Level 2 Qualification?
The CTQP Final Estimates Level 2 qualification, administered under Florida’s Construction Training and Qualification Program (CTQP), is for personnel responsible for producing progress and final payments and compiling final estimates documentation in accordance with the CPAM and the Review and Administration Manual (RAM). A qualified FE Level 2 person compiles, verifies, and processes documentation for proper payment and submits the completed final estimates package that supports the final contract amount.
The qualification is valid for five years (60 months) from the date the examination is passed. Maintaining Level 2 keeps Level 1 status current — no additional action required.
