This course prepares students for the Concrete Certified Technician Certification, a nationally recognized and industry-wide accepted program in the field of Construction Management. Students who take this course will be prepared to take the ACI Certification exam. This course will also be instrumental for the students in their preparations for the NICET Certification exam.
The intent of this certification is to demonstrate students/professionals theoretical and practical understanding of concrete construction to ensure production of high-quality work. This course will provide in-depth knowledge of concrete construction procedures and field inspections. This certificate course will be a learning tool for personnel who intend to become involved or are already involved in the supervision of concrete construction.
Concrete is one of the most challenging aspects of design, construction, and operation of the building. To meet the required qualifications for the evolving changes in the concrete construction, students and professionals must be equipped with the tools to help them successfully meet the technical areas involved in modern concrete construction. The certification course will bring the students/professionals up to the speed with the current research and technological changes with prevailing regulations.
Modern trends, along with safety requirements, have changed the entire old construction concepts. Construction, with speed and quality, is the real demand of the modern market. Safety is the prime consideration in the construction industry. This course will provide students and professionals theoretical/practical handling of concrete and teach participants how to examine the structures’ stability. To ensure stability, this course provides students a better understanding of concrete construction since concrete construction is more durable, better aesthetic, safe, and environmentally friendly.
The certification course includes teaching students/professionals, working knowledge of all aspects of concrete construction, mathematical calculations to determine the work quantities, characteristics of the material used in concrete construction, and an understanding knowledge of the concrete plant.
Upon successful course completion, students will be able to:
Class material and case studies will help to achieve the above listed objectives.
