ICRI CERTIFICATION CLASS DESCRIPTION

This Certification program has 2 tiers. Tier 1 applicants are those who are not regularly engaged in moisture testing, yet have an active interest in learning more about the tests, what the tests mean, and how the tests should be performed. Tier 2 applicants are those who have applied for full certification. Both tiers require attendance at a 3-hour educational session, followed by a written exam. Tier 2 full certification applicants will also be required to perform each of the four field tests under the watchful eye of a qualified judge who will not provide any level of coaching. Prequalification for acceptance into full certification Tier 2 will be previous testing experience.

Tier 1, the Concrete Slab Moisture Testing Educational Program, and the accompanying Written Examination, is open to anyone. Those who successfully complete this portion of the program (including passing the Written Examination) will be awarded a Letter of Achievement from ICRI

The full Certification Program, Tier 2, ICRI Concrete Slab Moisture Testing Technician— Grade 1, consists of the same 3-hour educational session, a written exam, and a field testing performance exam. By passing both the written and field testing performance exams, a ICRI Concrete Slab Moisture Testing Technician—Grade 1 certification will be issued by ICRI to those who successfully demonstrate the knowledge and ability to properly perform and record the results of each of the four field moisture tests on hardened concrete. Those who pass both the written and field testing performance exams will receive a certificate and a wallet registration card.

Both the written exam and the field testing performance exams will be based on the following four (4) ASTM Standards, including all Annexes and Appendices:
