PURPOSE AND IMPORTANCE OF ACI CERTIFICATION

Everyone involved in a construction project benefits from the use of certified technicians to perform the tests on fresh concrete specimens. Proper performance of test procedures improves the reliability of test results and aids in quality control of concrete.

Many specifications stipulate an ACI Certified Field Testing Technician, Grade 1, shall do compliance testing on concrete. Certification programs shall include both written and performance examinations.

Certification through the American Concrete Institute provides a technician with international recognition by an independent group of acknowledged concrete experts. This recognition may improve the technician’s potential for advancement and employment opportunities.
