**** 2010 CERTIFICATION PRICING ****

As was communicated in an earlier email, there will be no cost increases on certification examinations for 2010; workbook prices have been increased modestly to keep pace with rising royalty and outside publication costs. To see the 2010 price list, go to:

**** SPECIALITY COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL CONCRETE FLATWORK FINISHER ****

Speaking of World of Concrete 2010 (WOC), ACI Certification will be conducting a “hands-on” performance examination for the Specialty Commercial/Industrial Concrete Flatwork Finisher certification program on Tuesday, February 2, 2010 from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

If you will be attending WOC and are thinking of offering this program, this would be a great opportunity to observe. Contact me for more information.

**** EXAMINER CHANGES TO LABORATORY PROGRAMS **** At the fall 2009 ACI Convention in New Orleans, the Laboratory Technician Certification Committee (C620) voted to change the governing program policies to allow Examiners to conduct sessions for co-workers and examinees personally known to the Examiner.

This change is effective immediately for the following programs:

*Strength Testing Technician

*Laboratory Testing Technician – Level 2

*Aggregate Testing Technician – Level 1 & 2

*Aggregate Base Testing Technician
