Level I and Level II Technicians with an expiration date of December 31, 2008 must recertify to extend their certification through 2011. If you're unsure when your current certification expires, the date is printed on your MCA certificate and wallet card, look it up Directory of Certified Technicians, or contact our office at 800-678-9622.

According to MDOT specifications, concrete certification in Michigan is valid for three years and the expiration date printed on your ACI certificate and wallet card is not applicable.

Review Classes

To assist you in preparing for the written and performance exams, a number of one day review classes have been scheduled prior to the exam dates. Attendance at a class is voluntary. The sessions will provide a thorough review of the exam material highlighting changes to the specifications within the past three years. In addition, proctors will be available to observe and provide assistance as you practice performing the seven field tests in the lab.

All review classes and exams will be held at the noted locations. Class begins at 8:00 a.m. and concludes by 4:30 p.m. each day.
