ACEIT for Model Builders

Untitled

Includes ACE, CO$TAT and POST Tools

COURSE LENGTH: 4 Days (8:30am - 4:30pm)

Description: This is an introductory course in ACEIT 8.0, designed for students that want to build cost estimating models for their projects. Students will receive hands on experience building an estimate in ACE and learn how the other tools in the suite support estimate construction and reporting.

You'll learn how to:

P  Construct a WBS

P  Build equations with ACE functions

P  Build estimate equations

P  Develop and work with CERs

P  Apply inflation

P  Model uncertainty on your point estimate

P  Incorporate a learning curve

P  Create What-if cases in your model

P  Time phase your estimate

P  Create reports and chart for your cases

P  Document your estimate

P  Much, much more...

Prerequisites: Successful students should already have a basic knowledge of the cost estimating process and spreadsheet operations. This course focuses on how to use ACEIT and does not teach underlying cost estimating principles.
