Your trainee will learn safe concrete pumping skills and practices whereupon after a successful completion of the program, your trainee will be designated a TRAINED PROFESSIONAL in the field of concrete pumping.
Certification tests will be pre-numbered and must be paid at the time of ordering.

The cost for all certification processing will be $60/member and $225/non-member.
