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, certification program was revised back in 2020 and 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 CSA Standards Concrete Field Testing Technician Cetification Program (formerly ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician Grade 1) 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 video review session and exams!
The in person Review Session will be held Thursday December 14th from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm. Though this part is not compulsory to attend, it is highly recommended, even for the most seasoned field tester, so that everyone is very clear on all of the required procedures that will need to be maintained to successfully complete the Written and Performance exams in a safe and efficient manner.
The Test Methods Practice Session will be held Thursday afternoon from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm.
The Written exam will be held Friday December 15th at 8:00 am. 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.
