Level
II Certification
The
Michigan Department of Transportation requires that all Quality
Control Administrators on QA/QC projects be certified as Level
II Concrete Technicians. In order to become certified as a Level
II Concrete Technician, students must maintain a current Level
I certification and pass a written examination. The Level II
certification advances the principles introduced in the Level
I course to include aggregates for concrete, mix design theory,
strength evaluation, placement/finishing practices, and troubleshooting.
To increase their chances of successfully completing the Level
II course, participants should have strong basic math skills,
a working knowledge of aggregates for concrete, concrete fundamentals,
concrete mix design, testing procedures for fresh concrete,
and trial batch and field adjustments.
Recertification
for Level II is required every three years. Participants
who are recertifying may choose which course days they would
like to attend and are only required to sit for the exam.
However, we do reccomend that they attend all three days of
the course so they are able to review the material and are aware
of any recent changes to the material. The Level II course
usually adheres to the following agenda:
Day
1 – Introduction, Certification Requirements,
Aggregates, Fundamentals of Mix Design
Day
2 – Mix Design Problems, Field Adjustments
The
exam is an open book exam consisting of approximately 30 questions.
Students will be tested on the content of the course and
will have two hours to complete the exam. Upon the successful
completion of the exam, each technician will a receive wallet
card and a plaque from the Michigan Concrete Paving Association.
