FDOT Qualifications Programs Re-Structured |
|
Since the introduction of the new ACI CTCI Associate and ACI Aggregate Base Technician programs in 2008, the FDOT has re-structured its FDOT Qualifications. CMEC has prepared a handy chart indicating the FDOT Qualifications, and the ACI certifications and/or CTQP qualifications needed for these FDOT Qualifications. To view this chart, "What You Need for Qualifications in Florida", click here. For more detailed information on these certifications/qualifications, go the the Certification Department.
ACI Changes to Aggregate Programs The ACI Aggregate Field Testing Technician and ACI Aggregate Lab Testing Technician certification programs have undergone changes starting in 2008. Additionally, a new ACI certification program, Aggregate Base Testing Technician has been introduced. Both the names and the content of the existing Aggregate programs have changed. The new Aggregate Base Testing Technician program will encompass testing procedures more relevant to soils testing. To see a more complete description of each of the aggregate programs, go to the Certification Department. If you are registered for or are planning to register for any ACI Aggregate Certification programs this year, and you have any questions on the new program structures, call the CMEC Certification Department at 407-628-3682. |
