Now anyone around the world is able to participate in the American Concrete Institute’s (ACI) certification training programs.
ACI, in partnership with Elsevier, Inc., developed a new online training program, ACI eLearning, which will give concrete industry professionals, the chance to take courses online and earn continuing education units. The concrete organization officially launched the initiative on Feb. 3 at World of Concrete in Las Vegas.
The program was developed as “an answer to the high demand of a program that got too large, too fast,” ACI says. “Right now, it’s just satisfying the demand for certification. But we have plans to expand it.”
This is ACI’s first international education program, which is based on ASTM and ACI documents. Currently, ACI Certification training programs are available for “Concrete Field Testing Technician — Grade 1.” ACI also says it plans to make a “Concrete Strength Testing Technician” available later this month.
A “Concrete Basics” sample module is currently available on the eLearning site.
Both courses include practice exams, demonstration videos of all tests covered in the ACI Certification programs, and a final assessment tests of overall knowledge.
