Description
PCI offers training for quality control technicians to prepare individuals for PCI personnel certification examinations.
Level I begins the series of quality schools and starts off with a review of PCI certification programs, both plant and personnel. The curriculum was developed especially for quality control personnel, engineers, technician/managers, plant managers/superintendents, consulting engineers, and technicians. However, the schools and certifications are open to everyone involved in planning, operations, and quality control in the precast products industry.
The course is five (5) sessions long and covers basic concrete topics; mix design concepts (such as the water/cementitious ratio) are introduced, as well as beginning design concepts such as concrete strength, conventional reinforcing bars, and concrete testing.
Each session is designed to optimize learning regarding the standards defined by plant quality control manuals MNL-116 and MNL-117
Content is useful in the design and production of precast, prestressed concrete structures
Students will receive a copy of the valuable Quality Control Technician/Inspector Level I & II Training Manual, TM-101, plus class notes and extensive reference material
Weekly quizzes will serve as preparation for the Level I quality control exam
