This program is designed to train and certify technicians to properly
sample and test common highway construction materials. It is important
for employers and industry personnel to understand that these certifications
are on a very basic level and do not imply that a technician is qualified
to do anything more than sample and/or test materials. That is to say,
they are certified to provide data to industry experts who interpret the
data and make decisions based on their level of expertise. |
| NOTICE: THIS PAGE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AT THIS
TIME. THIS CERTIFICATION PROGRAM IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND INFORMATION
WILL BE POSTED AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. |
