NEW Concrete Fundamentals - Applications, Methods and Materials (Formally our Two-Day Concrete Basic Course)
To better reach our industry, Concrete Atlantic is now delivering our 2-day Concrete Basic course online. The curriculum is the same as the two day Concrete Basic course, but we've included knowledge check questions throughout the course and a case study for students to review their knowledge. Students can learn at their own pace and at a reduced costs.
This course is for anyone who is involved with concrete and who wants to enhance their basic knowledge of the subject. Ready-mixed concrete personnel, sales and marketing agents, concrete contractors, inspection and testing crews, material suppliers, consultants, government employees and others all have taken and benefited from this course in the past.
