The Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia (FTUI), once again demonstrated its commitment to improving the quality of human resources in the national construction sector by organizing the Construction Professional Certification Exam on Friday (09/05). The event was held in collaboration with three professional certification bodies (LSPs): the Construction Management LSP (HAMKI), the Construction Safety LSP, and the Bina Konstruksi Nusantara (BKN) LSP.
“This activity is a tangible form of our commitment to encouraging students and construction practitioners to meet nationally recognized competency standards and be ready to enter the industry,” said Ayomi Dita Rarasati, S.T., M.T., Ph.D., Head of the Department of Civil Engineering FTUI.
“We truly appreciate this collaboration. Certification is not merely a formality—it is a vital foundation for creating a construction workforce that is professional, competent, and capable of facing global challenges,” added Mr. Samuel E. D. P. Tampubolon, S.E., M.M., Head of BJKW III Jakarta, in his opening remarks.
The certification exams continued throughout the afternoon and were divided based on the organizing LSPs and room assignments. Participants underwent interviews and written tests conducted in parallel by assessors across several rooms.
FTUI Dean, Prof. Kemas Ridwan Kurniawan, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D., stated, “Through the implementation of this certification exam, FTUI strengthens its active role as an educational institution that bridges the needs of industry and academia.
