MCA ADVANCED CONCRETE LEVEL II TECHNICIAN CERTIFICATION
2027 MCA Advanced Concrete Technician Level 2 Certification
Important Update: The Level 2 Program Has Changed
MCA no longer offers separate “New” and “Recertification” Advanced Concrete Technician Level 2 classes. All participants will complete the same three-day certification program, which includes MCA Level 2 coursework and examinations, along with ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician—Grade I review and recertification examinations.
Please review the program schedule, prerequisites, and examination requirements carefully before registering.
Prerequisite and Preparation
Participants must hold an MCA Concrete Field Technician Level 1 Certification to enter the MCA Advanced Concrete Technician Level 2 Certification Program
If you have received your Level 1 Certification within the last 6 months you can opt out of Day 3 (the Level 1 Exam) and your Level 2 certification will match your Level 1 Expiration date.
This is a certification program, not an introductory training class. Participants are expected to be familiar with the course materials before attending. Classroom sessions are intended to review, reinforce, and evaluate the knowledge expected of an Advanced Concrete Technician Level 2 candidate.
Class Time and Location
Class will begin at 8:30 a.m. and conclude at approximately 4:30 p.m. each day. All three days of the program will be held at:
Michigan Concrete Association
3130 Pine Tree Road
Lansing, MI 48911
