Certification Requirements
ACI will grant certification only to those applicants who meet both of the following requirements:
- A passing grade on the ACI written examination; and
- Successful completion of the ACI performance examination.
The two-hour written examination is “open book” and consists of approximately 100 multiple choice questions. There are 8 to 12 questions on each of the Standards. To pass the written examination,
both of the following conditions must be met: (a) at least 60% correct for each of the required
standards; and (b) a minimum score of 70% overall.
The performance examination is “closed book” and requires actual demonstration of the required
Standards. The examinee is judged on his/her ability to correctly perform or describe all of the
required procedures for each standard.
Books/Materials
The manual for aggregate certification is the ACI Certification of Aggregate Testing Technician -Level 1 Manual.
