Construction Industry Development Council Representatives ACI recently met with the Construction Industry Development Council (CIDC)—a group comprised of Indian construction companies and the Indian government, charged with the responsibility of improving construction in India. The purpose of the meeting was to qualify and train future program administrators to deliver a custom ACI Certification program for Concrete Field Testing Technicians based on Indian standards. The meeting took place at the ACI Illinois Chapter training and certification center in Chicago, February 19-22, 2018. ACI President Khaled Awad with the CIDC Representatives ACI staff delivered an educational program on concrete and concrete testing, and administered written and performance exams to participants. Additionally, ACI provided logistical instruction on delivering the same program in India to qualify more program administrators and provide opportunities for technicians performing the concrete tests at construction sites to earn their ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician certifications. ACI will deliver another customized certification program in March with the UK-based Institute of Concrete Technology, with plans to develop additional programs in Mexico and other countries.
