Michigan Concrete Association

Level II Advanced Concrete Technician
Required by MDOT for Quality Control Administrators on QA/QC projects, the Level II certification covers the following material: aggregates for concrete, mix design theory, strength evaluation, placement/finishing practices, troubleshooting, and QA/QC fundamentals. To become Level II certified, students must possess a current Level I certification and pass a written exam.

Written Exam
In addition to the material presented in the Level II course, the exam includes the fundamental concepts covered in the Level I course. A minimum score of 70% is required to pass.

Level II Expiration Options
Technicians writing the Level II exam can choose from one of the following expiration options:

OPTION 1: Write the Level II exam only. With this option, your Level II certification will expire on the date indicated on your current Level I certificate.

OPTION 2: Write the Level II exam AND take the Level I ACI Field Test written and performance exams. By taking your ACI exams in the same certification year, the Level II certification will be extended a full three years, e.g. expiration would be 2011. The ACI tests will not be available on the same day as the Level II exam and must be registered for separately. However, there is no additional fee for taking the Level I ACI tests when you register for a Level II Complete Course and Exam.
