Shotcrete ACI Certification Department Changes for 2012
Dear ACI Certification Sponsoring Group contact:
Here is the latest information update from the ACI Certification Department. Please forward to anyone in your group who may not have access to e-mail.
****2012 PRICING AND WORKBOOK AVAILABILITY ****
ACI Certification exam and workbook pricing for 2012 is available at: ACI Certification 2012 Prices
Many ACI Certification workbooks are being updated for 2012 (see price list, above, for the most up-to-date versions) New 2012 versions of the Concrete Field Testing Technician—Grade I and Concrete Strength Testing Technician workbooks are expected to be available for sale in early December 2011. The remaining new-for-2012 workbooks will follow shortly thereafter, by the end of the year.
If you wish to provide workbooks to your examinees before the 2012 books are available (i.e.to study for examinations in early January), you may continue to use the 2011 workbooks and then request the corresponding 2011 written examination when you call ACI Certification to place your order for examinations.
****FREE REGISTRATION WORLD OF CONCRETE****
This year, World of Concrete will take place January 23-27. As a co-sponsor, ACI is able to offer free registration. To take advantage of this free registration, click here: Free Registration for World of Concrete .
