TRAINING: Concrete Strength Testing Technician


The CONCRETE STRENGTH TESTING TECHNICIAN TRAINING provides an opportunity for new and existing personnel to understand basic laboratory concrete strength-testing procedures, why they are necessary, and to prepare for the CONCRETE STRENGTH TESTING TECHNICIAN exam.

There are no other Concrete Strength Testing Technician Trainings scheduled for 2025. Please check back later this year, once we have posted to 2026 ACI Exam & Training Schedule for the 2026 Concrete Strength Testing Technician Training dates.


A Concrete Strength Testing Technician is an individual who has demonstrated the knowledge and ability to properly perform, record, and report the results of four basic laboratory procedures related to the determination of concrete compressive and flexural strength. Once all portions of the exam are passed, the certification is valid through ACI for 5 years. CRMCA does not keep record of certifications or results.

The Concrete Strength Testing Technician TRAINING provides an opportunity for new and existing personnel to understand basic laboratory concrete strength-testing procedures and why they are necessary. The training will encompass the four (4) ASTM practices and test methods contained within the ACI Concrete Strength Testing Technician certification:

  • C617/C617M – Capping Cylindrical Concrete Specimens
  • C1231/C1231M – Unbonded Caps for Concrete Cylinders
  • C39/C39M – Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens
  • C78/C78M – Flexural Strength of Concrete

The one-day course, full of both classroom presentation and hands-on practice, runs from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM MDT. Registration is required regardless of membership status.


 

Request to be a Supplemental Examiner aka “Proctor”

ACI certifications provided through the CRMCA continue because of the volunteers assisting during each session. These active volunteers are the Supplemental Examiners, or “Proctors”, who administer the individual performance exam stations for various certifications and active Proctors are always needed. CRMCA members who are ACI certified are encouraged to volunteer as available. Please contact CRMCA’s JT Mesite to be included in the Proctor Distribution List and gain access the ACI Supplemental Examiner Training.

Proctor volunteers’ companies are eligible to receive credit towards future certifications. Proctors are approved by the acting Examiner of Record (EOR) and CRMCA has the right to decline individuals as Proctors or the use of Proctor credits.
