Contractors can gain their certifications in one or multiple categories to both continue their knowledge and showcase their expertise to their customers.
PAVE/X MASTERS students will stay miles ahead of the industry as they engage in tailored online education that keeps them up-to-date with the latest trends and techniques. From there, tested coursework will support valuable certifications that distinguish student members from their market competition – enhancing credibility and demonstrating expertise to clients.
The goal with this curated content is to provide both new and seasoned professionals in the industry the opportunity to learn from pros, industry experts, and manufacturers as they are given quizzes to prove their knowledge while they advance through coursework.
PROMOTE YOUR SKILLSET
In an increasingly competitive market, becoming a PAVE/X MASTER in your field will differentiate you from your competition. We have worked with nationally recognized education experts to provide an industry-first and only certification that provides badges of excellence in vertical paving disciplines and skills.
Once a pillar is complete and a student is armed with their certifications, contractors can use this recognition to obtain more work, charge a higher rate for their expertise and differentiate themselves from the competition. A crew full of PAVE/X MASTERS will demonstrate to customers a high-level of dedication to the industry and the work to be done. Additionally, when a program is completed, students will be able to promote themselves anywhere with their new PAVE/X MASTERS certification badges.
With a PAVE/X MASTERS account, students will have access to hours of online education that includes articles, webinars, videos and more. We will also provide “Office Hours” with industry professionals for the year-round online networking opportunities we know this industry loves and needs.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE
Certification as a PAVE/X MASTER is accomplished by completing a minimum of 10 credit hours in any pillar of excellence for the student’s choice. Each pillar contains seven (7) online courses that can be completed on demand. Students can expect to spend 45 minutes to one hour completing each online course. During virtual education, students will be given quizzes to prove their knowledge to advance to the next course.
Those interested in obtaining their badges must also complete a minimum of three (3) hours at any IRONMARKETS in-person events that host qualifying education sessions (such as PAVE/X: The Pavement Experience, or IGNITE Construction Summit). Students can choose how they complete their 10 credit hours, as long as a minimum of three (3) hours are done in-person. The other seven (7) course hours of education caneither be completed online or at a qualifying IRONMARKETS in-person events.

Once a certification is obtained, contractors will receive badges to add to their websites, and certificates that display their achievements. You can fulfill your credit hours at your own pace, as long as it is completed within the year. Each certification will renew on March 1.
Certification must be renewed annually by participating in another round of coursework during the following 12 months, so that badge status and continuing education grows. Badges will be presented each year in March. The inaugural year of the PAVE/X MASTERS program started from December 2024 and runs through March 2026, giving students ample time to achieve their first badge certification.
