Certification Requirements

Concrete Transportation Construction Inspector

ACI will grant certification only to those applicants who:

1) Hold current certification as an ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician - Grade I;

2) Obtain a passing grade on the written inspection examination;

3) Obtain a passing grade on the written plans reading examination;

4) Possess at least one of the following qualifications:

A) A Minimum of two years of college or technical school, earning at least 60 credit hours, plus two years of satisfactory work experience, or

B) A high school diploma, or equivalent, plus a minimum of three years of satisfactory work experience, or

C) Five years of satisfactory work experience.

The work experience must include:

1) Decision making authority and responsibility
2) Verification of compliance with plans, specifications, and codes
3) Evaluation of concrete construction in the field
4) Documentation and reporting of inspection results
5) Proficiency in appropriate areas of concrete construction inspection

Verification of the amount and range of work experience by the applicant's employer(s) is required.

The three-hour written inspection examination is "open book" and consists of approximately 80 multiple choice questions. The one-hour plans reading examination consists of approximately 20 questions and is designed to test the examinee's ability to read and understand engineering drawings. The minimum passing grade for each examination is 70%.

Concrete Transportation Construction Inspector-in-Training

ACI will grant certification to those applicants who meet the Field Technician prerequisite and pass both written examinations. Individuals with Inspector-in-Training certification can upgrade to full Inspector status upon submittal and approval of sufficient education/work experience.

Recertification is necessary every five (5) years, and requires current Field Technician certification and successful completion of the inspection and plans reading examinations.

 

If you pass the exam, you will be issued a certificate from ACI international qualifying you as a Concrete Transportation Construction Inspector.
