The American Concrete Institute (ACI) announces the launch of its Nondestructive Testing Specialist – Concrete Strength certification program. The program will certify individuals who successfully pass the ACI examinations by demonstrating the knowledge and ability to properly perform specified nondestructive tests on hardened concrete. The nondestructive testing program is the newest in a lineup of concrete inspection certification programs offered by the Institute. This program was developed under the guidance of ACI Committee 228 Nondestructive Testing, who identified the need to qualify those practitioners using these test methods in evaluating in-place concrete strength. The certification program includes six test methods used in evaluating the in-place strength of hardened concrete, including: pulse velocity; penetration resistance; rebound hammer; cast-in-place concrete cylinders; pullout strength; and estimating concrete strength by the maturity method. “The Institute is pleased to be able to offer this comprehensive nondestructive testing certification program to the concrete construction industry. We are working with our sponsoring groups and chapters to implement this program in their communities, as we are eager to help those individuals looking to expand their concrete inspection expertise,” stated Michael Morrison, Manager, Certification Program Development, American Concrete Institute. “We are also looking into ways to offer expanded training opportunities to prepare for the examination, including online learning courses.” Additional information on the ACI Nondestructive Testing Specialist – Concrete Strength certification program, including a detailed job task analysis, is available at ACICertification.org. ### For more information, contact: Julie Webb Marketing 248-848-3148 American Concrete Institute | Always advancing concrete.org Always advancing – Founded in 1904 with a headquarters in Farmington Hills, MI, USA, and a regional office in Dubai, UAE, the American Concrete Institute is a leading authority and resource worldwide for the development, dissemination, and adoption of its consensus-based standards, technical resources, educational & training programs, certification programs, and proven expertise for individuals and organizations involved in concrete design, construction, and materials, who share a commitment to pursuing the best use of concrete.
