Looking for continuing ed that gets into delivery slotting, laydown planning, and crane time coordination — not generic PM theory. I’m running a 24‑story downtown job with a 6–9 a.m. gate window and about 70 trucks a week, and I want CEUs that cover ASNs, gate control, and TMS/WMS integration with Procore or Autodesk Build. What programs have given you practical, jobsite‑ready takeaways?
On a 24‑story downtown job, the most practical CE I took was Voyage Control’s logistics training — ASNs, gate rules, crane time — and the Procore tie‑in made our slots feel like air‑traffic control; credits came as AIA/PDH, not straight CEUs. It’s vendor‑specific, so confirm your board accepts it, and pair it with an AU session on Build/TMS; Voyage Control.
@plowe67’s note on slot discipline tracks; the CE that moved the needle for us was an Autodesk University class on tying Build to a TMS via APS (https://www.autodesk.com/university). We left with ASNs as a required submittal and QR labels the gate scans to auto-stamp arrivals and release crane time — small caveat: you’ll need a marketplace connector or a light script to wire it up.
But the only CE that translated to the curb for me was Procore Continuing Education on material logistics; we coupled it with an LCI pull‑planning workshop and enforced a simple ‘no ASN, no slot’ rule with QR gate passes tied to the Procore directory (felt like air‑traffic control, not theory). It won’t cover every WMS wrinkle, but it was jobsite‑ready and got our 6–9 window sane; start here: https://education.procore.com/.
What moved the needle for me was LCI’s Takt Planning workshop (https://www.leanconstruction.org/education/) paired with a short Synchro 4D lab; we broke the 6–9 a.m. gate into 30‑min beats and used ASNs to “pull” only what fit that day. The practical bit was rehearsing laydown and pick order in 4D, then pushing the day’s slots to Procore via a simple TMS webhook — handled about 70 trucks/week. Caveat: if subs won’t own ASN updates it unravels fast — , so we auto-drop late trucks after 10 minutes.
@plowe67’s integration angle is spot on; the ASCM CLTD course gave us the ASN and TMS/WMS backbone, then a short Voyage Control lab let us set 15‑min gate slots and push PODs into Procore via webhooks — it felt like turning the curb into a tiny airport. It’s a bit supply‑chain‑centric, so plan an hour to translate terms to your Procore objects, but the CEUs counted and it was jobsite‑ready. https://ascm.org/learning-development/certifications/cltd/.
, most CE is fluff; the Georgia Tech Professional Education supply chain/logistics track dug into ASNs and TMS/WMS basics I could use (https://pe.gatech.edu/subjects/supply-chain-and-logistics). I paired that with an Autodesk University lab on Build integrations — @jgrant47’s “wire it into the platform” point — so our 6–9 a.m. gate ran in 12‑min slots and QR‑ASNs at the fence pushed updates into Build and the crane board. If you want construction‑branded CEUs, CMAA had a decent logistics webinar, but it’s light on the ASN/TMS plumbing.
Quick example: the CMAA urban logistics webinar was the only CE that gave me a usable playbook for your 6–9 window; we moved to 20‑min slots tied to crane “hook hours” and only released a slot when the pre‑advice listed floor, gate, and receiver contact. Caveat: in Procore the native tools are thin — stand up a simple Form → Action Plan → gate pass, or use StruxHub’s integration to auto‑create passes when the lift schedule shifts.
And best ROI for us was the Lean Construction Institute Takt Planning workshop (CEUs) — we left with a simple “no pre‑advice, no slot” rule, blocked crane time in 30‑min chunks, and pushed bookings into Procore via the app connector; it won’t cover Build APIs, so pair it with an AU integration session: https://autodeskuniversity.com.
Autodesk University has a solid CE session on dense‑site logistics (AIA/PDH) that we used to carve a 6–9 gate into 15‑min hook cycles and have ASNs auto‑issue QR dock passes into Build via a lightweight API (https://www.autodesk.com/university). It’s a bit tool‑heavy, so pair it with a simple rule — “no QR, no curb” — and a booking app like Voyage Control to enforce it.
