Hello Sophia,
"ECITB Level 2 Diploma in Project Control, Estimating, Planning and Cost Engineering" should be a good starting point for formal accreditation in Project Controls.
This course/accreditation is aimed at those who require an introduction to the role of the Project Controller or Project Practitioners with little or no formal training in the subject of Project Controls.
