The Specifier 1 course is an intermediate level course that will take the individual beyond the concepts previously introduced in the PCD Course. Although some of the same topics are included in this course, the depth of comprehension and explanation exceed that of the PCD course. The Specifier 1 course is a prerequisite for the Certified Specification Practitioner (CSP) designation from CSC. Successful completion of the course may be credited toward the experience component requirements for the Registered Specification Writer (RSW) designation.

The course is designed for the individual involved with the preparation of the project manual /specification.
