Program Description (2 Day Program)

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.

CSA A23.1 states that all field sampling and test procedures undertaken to assess concrete quality shall be carried out in a accordance with the requirements of CSA A23.2 by personnel certified under an industry recognized program such as CSA A283 or CAN/CSA-ISO 9001 with equivalent scope to CSA A283; or ACI CSA Standards Concrete Field Testing Technician (formerly ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician Grade1).

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  review session and exams!

The Review Session will be scheduled on the morning of the first day at the location noted above.  Please park in designated parking zones on the streets around the building. Though this part is not compulsory to attend, it is highly recommended that all participants attend 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 successfully and in a safe manner.

The Test Methods Practice Session will be held in the afternoon of the first day at a location noted above. If weather permits, we will conduct the session out of doors. A map of where to meet on site and where to park will be provided closer to the date.

The Written exam will be held on the morning of the second day at the location noted above. Please park in designated parking zones around the building. 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 immediately follow the written exam on the same day at the location noted above.  A map of where to meet on site and where to park will be provided closer to the date. If weather permits, we will conduct the session outdoors. More details will be provided before the Performance Exam.

PPE will be the responsibility of the participant. Required PPE include safety boots or shoes that can withstand exposure to concrete, safety glasses,  long pants and long-sleeved shirts, Hi Viz Vests or High Vis Coveralls, hard hats and gloves.
There will be a very limited supply of extra disposable gloves should yours become inoperable at the time of the performance exam. Face masks are optional. You must bring a piece of government issued photo identification either a valid driver’s license or valid passport.
