Frequently Asked Questions

Will these online courses give me ACI certification?

No, these online courses are training for your ACI certification. They are fantastic preparation for an ACI exam. To get your ACI certification, you will need to take your certification exams through an ACI Chapter or local sponsoring group. To locate the ACI group closest to you, visit the certification section of the ACI website.

How do I access my online course?

After you make your online purchase, you will see a screen that links you directly to the start of your course.

How do I get help if I have a problem?

You can call 800-401-9962 for immediate help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can also email Techncial Support for a helpful response within 24 hours (Monday-Friday).

Can I stop and start and go back as I need to?

Absolutely. You have total flexibility. You can stop and start again at any point. You can go back and re-do the material or re-take the end-of-module tests as often as you like for 12 months.

Will I get a receipt after my purchase?

Your receipt, or invoice, will be emailed to you instantly. If you don’t receive it, please check that your junk mail filter hasn’t identified it as spam. If you need help with a receipt, contact Elsevier Online Support at Techncial Support.

Do I have to be an ACI member to take a course?

No, the courses are open to everyone who wants to take them, but there is a discount on all courses for ACI members. For more information about becoming an ACI member, visit concrete.org/MEMBERS/memb.htm

I want to buy access to everything. Are you going to offer subscriptions to all of your online material?

Yes, we expect that we will soon offer a 12-month subscription to the "ACI eLearning Library," which will include all of the courses, including new courses launched during your subscription period. We have not yet settled on a price for this, but it will certainly be a great value.

How do the courses work exactly? What can I expect?

Courses are made up of 3 key parts:

  • Short readings, including a link to the complete ASTM standard, if it’s something that’s applicable to your course
  • A series of interactive exercises that reinforce key points you’re learning
  • An end-of-module exam that tests your understanding
How am I assessed or graded?

The end-of-module exam, which is online, is a multiple-choice test of 10-15 questions. You must achieve a mark of 70% to complete the module successfully. You can take the exam as many times as you like, no matter what score you get.

How do I claim CEUs or PDHs?

When you complete the end-of-module exam successfully you will be taken to an electronic completion certificate. This can be printed and saved and used to claim your PDHs or CEUs to maintain your license. When you complete the entire course, you also receive a certificate for that.

How long do the courses take?

Each module is approximately 45 minutes long. The full courses are between 4 and 10 hours long.
