As a required certification for CMEC Accredited Laboratory personnel, review for the CST program is a half-day session, followed by the examination. Registration for the Workshop includes the ACI Concrete Strength Testing Technician Workbook. The CST certification requires the successful passing of a written and performance examination. Candidates are tested on their knowledge of sulfur capping, neoprene capping, and compression testing of cylinders and beams in the laboratory.
Certifications are valid for three years from the passing date of the examination.
Registration for the exam only does not include the ACI Concrete Strength Testing Technician Workbook, but this can be ordered from the Publications page. Technicians who still have a valid CMEC Concrete Cylinder Testing Technician Certification can use this certification through its validity as the required cylinder testing certification for Lab Accreditation compliance. However, upon the expiration of the CCTT Certification, technicians may then sit for the ACI Concrete Strength Testing Technician. The ACI Certification will be the one required for FDOT work.
