2026 ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician Grade I 

The ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician Grade I course will benefit all personnel involved in testing fresh concrete. ASTM C31, C94, and ACI 301 all require that technicians making and curing concrete test specimens for acceptance be certified ACI Concrete Field Testing Technicians. A working knowledge of the following ASTM Standards is required for this certification program: C-172 Sampling Freshly Mixed Concrete; C-143 Slump of Hydraulic Cement Concrete; C-138 Density (Unit Weight), Yield, & Air Content (Gravimetric) of Concrete; C-231 Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by Pressure Method; C-173 Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by Volumetric Method; C-31 Making and Curing Concrete Test Specimens in the Field; C-1064 Temperature of Freshly Mixed Portland Cement Concrete.

Ohio Concrete Professional Engineers conduct the one-day review and administer the written and performance examinations. Examinations are sent to the American Concrete Institute (ACI) to be graded. Test results will come directly from ACI, not Ohio Concrete, and will come to the email address provided on the written exam.

Technicians who successfully pass both the written and performance examinations will receive a certificate and wallet card from ACI certifying them as ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician – Grade I and will be valid for 5 full years. Should you fail the written portion, but pass the performance, you have one year from the first testing date to retake the written without having to retake the performance exam. The same is true should you fail the performance exam but pass the written. Please note: There is a charge for re-exams.

The full program is eligible for 6 CPD hours.

For recertification, ACI still requires successful completion of both the performance and written examinations. Individuals may register for “Full Exam Only”, however it is not recommended for individuals who have never tested before and this option does not include a workbook, which may have been updated. However, the workbook can be ordered separately regardless of the registration type chosen.
