Qualifications/certifications for highly experienced construction professionals without degrees?

I’m registering an architecture/construction consultancy in India. One of my associates is only 10th pass but has years of hands-on experience across execution, supervision, labour/vendor handling, measurements, coordination, materials, and overall site management. He basically handles end-to-end on-site work.

We won’t misrepresent him as an Architect or Engineer, but many tenders ask for technically qualified staff/team credentials.

What are the best legitimate certifications, diplomas, or programs that actually add credibility in bidding and firm profiles?

Considering:

  • Construction management/supervision
  • Quantity surveying
  • AutoCAD drafting
  • Safety certifications
  • NSDC / Skill India / CIDC programs

Would appreciate practical advice from architects, contractors, PMC firms, or people handling government/private tenders in India.
