At the Chicago meeting, ACI staff delivered an educational program on concrete and concrete testing, and administered written and performance exams to participants. Additionally, ACI provided logistical instruction on delivering the same program in India to qualify more program administrators and provide opportunities for technicians performing the concrete tests at construction sites to earn their ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician certifications.
