SUMMARY:ACI Field Testing Technician Grade I April 10 - 11\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:This course is for all personnel involved in testing fresh concrete. ASTM C94 and ACI 301 require technicians to have demonstrated an ability equivalent to ACI Concrete Field-Testing Technician-Grade I certification. \nA half day review\, with exams administered the following day\, is sponsored by OCAPA in cooperation with the American Concrete Institute (ACI). It is conducted by a certified examiner and graded by ACI. \nThose successfully completing both the ACI written and performance examinations will receive a wallet card from ACI certifying them as an ACI Concrete Field-Testing Technician – Grade I. Certification is valid for 5 years. \nRequired Prior Knowledge: \n\nFamiliarity with basic algebra.\nA working knowledge of the following ASTM Standards:\n\nC 172 – Sampling Freshly Mixed Concrete\nC 1064 -Temperature of Freshly Mixed Portland Cement Concrete\nC 143 – Slump of Hydraulic Cement Concrete\nC 138 -Unit Weight\, Yield\, and Air Content of Concrete\nC 231 – Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Pressure Method\nC 173 – Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Volumetric Method\nC 31 – Making and Curing Concrete Test Specimens in the Field\n\n\nYou must be familiar with your testing equipment and be able to proceed through testing procedures without coaching or comment from the examiner or others.\nStudents must provide their own equipment or arrange to share equipment.\n\nNo more than two students per equipment set. \nNotice to Students Re-Certifying or Challenging: \n\nYou must provide your previous ACI # on the registration form.\nIf you are re-certifying\, ACI requires successful completion of both the performance and written examinations.\nIndividuals that are re-certifying are not required to attend the review.\nACI exams (written or performance) are not administered outside of scheduled class dates.
