ACI Field Testing Technician
Certification Open Enrollment
 PCA
will hold an ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician Grade I Certification
examination at our Skokie, IL facilities on September 21, 2007.
Our qualified and experienced instructors will administer the written
and performance evaluations for certifying concrete testing technicians.
The program requires a working knowledge of the following ASTM
Standards:
C 1064 - Temperature of Freshly Mixed Portland-Cement Concrete
C 172 - Sampling Freshly Mixed Concrete
C 143 - Slump of Hydraulic Cement Concrete
C 138 - Unit Weight, Yield, and Air Content (Gravimetric) of Concrete
C 231 - Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Pressure
Method
C 173 - Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Volumetric
Method
C 31 - Making and Curing Concrete Test Specimens in the Field
ACI will grant certification only to those applicants who meet both
of the following requirements:
- A passing grade on the ACI written examination
- Successful completion of the ACI performance examination
The one-hour written examination is "closed book" and
consists of 55 multiple choice questions. There are five (5) to
ten (10) questions on each of the ASTM Standards. To pass the written
examination, both of the following conditions must be met: (a) at
least 60% correct for each of the required standards; and (b) a
minimum score of 70% overall.
The performance examination is also "closed book" and
requires actual demonstration of six of the required ASTM Standards
plus a verbal description of Sampling, ASTM C 172. The examinee
is judged on his/her ability to correctly perform or describe all
of the required procedures for each standard.
Recertification is necessary every five (5) years, and requires
successful completion of both the written and performance examinations.
