What to Expect:

Review: a three- to four-hour review
Written exam: a ninety-minute, closed-book written exam.

Performance exam: Two-part exam: Part 1 (vertical down) and Part 2 (overhead).

In Part 1, each examinee will be tasked with selecting, assembling, and using the proper tools, equipment, and materials to drill and clean a vertical down hole in concrete, inject adhesive, and set an anchor to the proper depth and perpendicularity. The Examiner(s) will observe and evaluate the examinees’ performance for proper procedure.
In Part 2, each examinee must inject clear tubes with adhesive in an overhead orientation behind a blind to simulate a drilled hole in concrete using the piston plug method. The Examiner(s) will observe and evaluate the examinees’ performance for proper procedure.
Following Part 1, the Examiner(s) will check the vertical down installation for proper depth and plumb; after the adhesive in the tubes injected in Part 2 has cured (24 hours), the Examiner(s) will cross-section them and evaluate the size and location of air voids to determine pass or fail.
Note: This program now certifies candidates only for the piston-plug overhead installation system.
