  • Individuals must pass both the written and the performance exams, as appropriate, within one year of each other to be considered for certification.
  • CRMCA does not score exams or maintain results. If you are unsure of which portion of an exam you need to retake, please contact ACI at aci.certification@concrete.org or (248) 848-3790 to verify your results.
