This one day school is for experienced individuals who seek the "Concrete Field Technician" certification without the aid of any classroom review. Each student will receive a study guide and disk prior to the class and will be responsible for all information- there will be no review prior to testing. Each student must pass the written exams (ACI and NCDOT) and complete all field performance tests. Field performance tests include; measurement of air content in concrete using the "Type B" air pressure meter, temperature measurement, sampling specifications, making and curing of test specimens, air content using the volumetric method (roll-a-meter), unit weight, chace indicator, and slump test. THIS COURSE CAN ONLY BE TAKEN ONCE PER YEAR-NO RETEST. The cost for this school is $ 250.00 per student.

This entry-level training allows the student to become ACI and NCDOT certified. This course will include a fundamental understanding of: NCDOT Specifications, basic concepts and components of concrete, and how to complete NCDOT forms relating to concrete sampling. In addition, the student will be trained and tested on all field performance tests, which include; calibration of "Type B" air pressure meter, measurement of air content in concrete using the "Type B" air pressure meter, temperature specifications, sampling specifications, making and curing of test specimens, air content using the volumetric method (roll-a-meter), unit weight, chace indicator, and slump test. To be certified, each student must pass all field performance tests and pass the NCDOT written exam and the ACI written exam. ALL STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE ALL THREE PARTS—NO EXCEPTIONS. The cost for this school is $250.00 per student.

Individuals who are currently ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician – Grade I certified, and seek NCDOT certification only, will participate in this school and be exempted from the ACI written exam and the field performance tests portions (except for the Chace Indicator Test). All students must present an active ACI card prior to testing. The cost of the school if ACI certified is $100.00 per student.

This two-day school is for the individual whose job responsibilities pertain to activity at a concrete batch plant. Subjects covered include: NCDOT specifications, plant inspections, admixtures used in concrete and their characteristics, moisture determinations, and batch weight adjustments. This school will provide a NCDOT Batch certification only. Prerequisites for the school are certified ACI Field Testing Technician Grade I and completion of the requirements for a Certified Concrete Field Technician. Training is conducted in a classroom setting where a basic understanding of batching operations is needed and mathematical formulas and calculations are used routinely. This school will be required of all Batchers effective January 1, 2000. A copy of the certification number must be submitted for every student for registration. The cost for this school is $100.00 per student.

This five day advance school instructs an in depth, step by step, procedure to produce the following: ACI concrete mix designs, design variations, weight – volume relationships, and aggregate gradation. Additional subjects include: admixtures and their uses in concrete, use of Portland cement, use of fly ash in concrete, placing and curing of concrete, and related metrics in concrete. Training is conducted entirely in a classroom setting where mathematical formulas and calculations are used extensively. Prerequisites for the school are Concrete Batch Technician Certification and valid ACI Field Technician Grade I Certification. A copy of the certification number must be submitted for every student for registration. The cost for this school is $100.00 per student.

This one day school is strictly for those students who have completed all parts of the field school and failed the ACI written exam only.
