Description

The ACI CSA Standards Concrete Field Testing Technician Certification Program has been developed for the purpose of certifying concrete testing technicians who have demonstrated the knowledge and ability to perform, properly, the basic field tests on plastic concrete. With ever growing prevalence of the use of Self Consolidating Concrete (SCC) in the field, this newly revised certification program now includes the test standard CSA A23.2-19C Slump flow of concrete.

Certification of field test personnel by CSA International, Canadian Council of Independent Laboratories (CCIL) or the ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician Grade 1 (Newly revised and renamed ACI CSA Standards Concrete Field Testing Technician) Certification Program is a requirement of the CSA standard for concrete A23.1 Concrete materials and methods of concrete construction published by Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

Please note: This is not a training course. It is a certification program. Prior testing experience is required. Please be sure to study the workbook thoroughly prior to the virtual review session and exams!

The Review Session will be delivered virtually Wednesday June 1st from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm.  All participants will therefore need access to their own computer with high speed internet access to participate in the Review Session. Though this part is not normally compulsory to attend, it will be for this session so that everyone is very clear on all of the required procedures that will need to be maintained to complete the Written and Performance exams in a safe manner.

The Test Methods Practice Session will be held Wednesday afternoon from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm at Knelsen Sand & Gravel Ltd. 11211 Winterburn Rd Edmonton, AB

The Written exam will be held Thursday June 2nd at 8:00 am at Knelsen Sand & Gravel Ltd.. where proper social distancing can be maintained. Please be sure to bring your own HB pencil and eraser as well as a calculator. Cell phones are not permitted for use in ACI written exams. No food or drink will be provided. You may bring a bottle of water. Please take any empty bottles with you when you leave.

The Performance Exam will follow the same day, Thursday June 2nd at 10:00 a.m. at Knelsen Sand & Gravel Ltd.

PPE will be the responsibility of the participant though there will be a very limited supply of gloves should yours become inoperable at the time of the performance exam. Hand sanitizer will be available at both examination sites. Masks are optional though you may choose to wear one given the current rates of hospitalization of people infected with the latest Omicron Variant.
