New ACI Shotcrete Nozzleman Certification Program Process Goes Live
ASA’s Roster of Examiners,
Thank you again to all of you who were able to attend one of the three conference calls to review the Board’s restructuring of ASA’s administration of certification and education sessions in support of the ACI Shotcrete Nozzleman Certification Program. To the few of you that were not able to participate, make sure that you spend time reading thru the policies and related material to develop a strong understanding of the new process and contact me with any questions you might have.
We are now ready to go live with the process. We expect all relevant information to be on the ASA web site this week. We will also begin issuing quotes for certification\education sessions by next week. Once a quote is accepted by a Host, we will issue a call for a session Examiner. That call will go to all our Examiners that are approved for the method (wet or dry), and who have submitted to staff the required 3 forms for 2011.
1. IRS Form W-9
2. 2011 Examiner Employer Consent Form
3. 2011 Examiner Code of Conduct and Policy Sign-off Form
Please submit these forms as soon as possible so that you are eligible to participate as a session Examiner.
If at any point you have questions or suggestions, please contact me.
Thanks again for your patience and participation as we begin this new process. Please keep in mind that all of this is a starting point and the ASA Board will continue to closely monitor and make adjustments to the process as needed.
Sincerely,
Chris Darnell
Executive Director
