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 video review session and exams!

The Video Review Session will be held Tuesday December 6th from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm at Knelsen Sand & Gravel Ltd.
