Who Are The ACI?
The American Concrete Institute (ACI), founded in 1904, is dedicated to promoting progress, innovation, and collaboration in the concrete industry. As the leading resource and authority for the development, delivery, and uptake of training, educational, and certification programs for the best use of concrete, the ACI continues to set the global standards for its 30,000+ members worldwide.
What Is a Concrete Flatwork Finisher?
Formerly known as a Concrete Flatwork Finisher and Technician, an Advanced Concrete Flatwork Finisher, is a person who has shown that they understand the procedures and have the skills required to place, consolidate, edge, joint, sure, and protect concrete flatwork.
To become ACI Advanced Flatwork Finisher certified, a skilled individual must complete a written exam with an acceptable passing grade and complete a hands-on performance exam or complete a written exam with verification of 4,500 hours of actual on-the-job finishing.
