The Somero Concrete Institute (SCI) is pleased to offer an all-new ACI accredited course that’s open to all industry professionals. This comprehensive ACI program includes everything professionals need to receive the ACI CFTM-P certification.
One of the main benefits of our ACI course is the exam’s format. In lieu of a written exam, the ACI Concrete Flatwork Finisher (previously known as the “ACI Tradesman” certification exam) is evaluated on hands-on performance. Not only is the hands-on exam a preferred format of participants, it’s also helpful when dealing with potential job site situations like language barriers. In addition to the practical knowledge and experience, many employers are beginning to include this ACI certification as a requirement for candidates.
