ACI Masonry Field Testing Technician Certification Class

Certification Requirements:
ACI will grant certification only to those applicants who meet both of the following requirements:

  1. A passing grade on the ACI written examination; AND
  2. Successful completion of the ACI performance examination.

The one-hour written examination is closed-book and consists of approximately 60 multiple-choice questions. There are between 8 and 12 questions on each of the ASTM test methods and practices. To pass the written examination, BOTH of the following conditions must be met:

  1. At least 60% correct for each of the required test methods and practices; AND
  2. A minimum score of 70% overall.

The performance examination is also closed-book and requires actual demonstration of select field procedures described in ASTM test methods C140/C140M, C780, and C1019. The examinee is judged on his/her ability to correctly perform (or describe, where allowed) required steps for each procedure.

Certification is valid for a period of five years from the date of successfully completing all requirements.  Recertification requires successful completion of both the written and performance examinations.

Due to COVID, this class may be rescheduled or canceled. A minimum of five students is required for the class to run.  Please check with MCC before booking any flights or hotels.
