Certified Track Builder

Why use a Certified Track Builder?

“The Certified Track Builder (CTB) program was developed by the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA) to establish consistent, high-level, professional standards and to improve the practice of track construction.”

Candidates for certification must pass a comprehensive examination on track construction and maintenance, as well as fulfill a set of prescribed standards for experience that demonstrates a high level of knowledge in track construction.

The Principles of Certification for Track Builders:

Assisting the general public in evaluating the experience and expertise of builders
Recoginizing those professional track builders that have met a designated level of experience and demonstrated a standard knowledge
Providing a means of identifying professionals who have met a standard of achievement
Raising professional standards and improving the practice of track construction

The certification is valid for three years and CTB’s may recertify either through re-examination or via continuing education points and eligibility attained through demonstrating relevant work over the previous three years. Continuing education points are earned through attending technical seminars, authoring papers, participating in research, and other ASBA related activities.
