Question 1

What is the ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician Grade 1 exam?

Accepted Answer

The ACI Grade 1 exam certifies your ability to perform seven standard ASTM concrete field tests: slump, temperature, unit weight, making cylinders, density/unit weight, air content by pressure testing, and air content by displacement testing. It is the most widely required concrete testing certification in the United States and even abroad.

Question 2

How hard is the ACI Grade 1 exam?

Accepted Answer

The exam has both a written (multiple-choice) portion and a practical (hands-on) portion where one must demonstrate successful performance of each test from memory. With proper preparation, most candidates pass on their first attempt. SI Certs provides high quality video demonstrations of each testing procedure to build your confidence and prepare you to pass on testing day.

Question 3

Do I need experience to take the ACI exam?

Accepted Answer

No — ACI does not require any prior concrete experience to sit for the Grade 1 exam. However, familiarity with concrete operations is helpful. The SI Certs course starts from the basics and is designed for both newcomers and experienced field personnel refreshing their knowledge, to be able to pass the exam on the first attempt.

Question 5

Where do I take the ACI exam?

Accepted Answer

ACI exams are administered by local or regional sponsoring groups — typically your local ACI chapter. You can find upcoming exam dates on the ACI website, or scroll down and find the U.S. map on our ACI page https://www.sicerts.com/aci/online-training, and click through to find your chapter's website. SI Certs prepares you for the two exams, but you register and test through your local ACI chapter.
