A Concrete Flatwork Associate (formerly Concrete Flatwork Technician) is an individual who has demonstrated the knowledge (via a written examination) on proper procedures to place, consolidate, finish, edge, joint, cure, and protect concrete flatwork.

A Concrete Flatwork Finisher (formerly Concrete Flatwork Tradesman) is an individual who has demonstrated the knowledge (via a hand-on performance examination) necessary to place, consolidate, finish, edge, joint, cure, and protect concrete flatwork, but lacks sufficient work experience to qualify as a concrete flatwork finisher. An Advanced Concrete Flatwork Finisher (formerly Concrete Flatwork Finisher and Technician) is a craftsman who has demonstrated the knowledge AND skills and/or experience necessary to place, consolidate, finish, edge, joint, cure, and protect concrete flatwork. The ACI Flatwork Finisher & Flatwork Advanced Finisher Work Experience Form is available on the Resources page for this site. Select Resources from the menu bar on the left to access the page.

Note, the in-person courses offered include a half-day refresher/review prior to the written exam only. The CRMCA does NOT provide the on-hands performance exam to meet the requirements of a Concrete Flatwork Finisher. If the appropriate work experience is met, an individual can complete the written exam and complete the Experience Form (prior to their scheduled session) to obtain the title Advanced Concrete Flatwork Finisher. For more information on the certification or the certification requirements, please click here. Please complete and submit the ACI Flatwork Finisher & Flatwork Advanced Finisher Work Experience Form on ACI's website or by clicking Resources on the menu on the left of the page. Follow the submission instructions as outlined on the form.
