Changes Coming to ACPA Certification Training and Testing

Beginning January 01, 2022, the education requirement for ACPA Operator Certification will change.

As a prerequisite for ACPA Operator Certification, an operator must complete the 5.0.3 Operator Safety Training Presentation, which can be fulfilled in one of three ways:

1. Complete the ClickSafety online safety training presentation course (https://business.clicksafety.com/acpa/)
2. Instruction from an ACPA Authorized Training Administrator*
3. Attend a “live” ACPA Operator Safety Seminar

Once the education requirement is met, the operator has the option of taking the written version of the Certification Test, or the online version (https://www.concretepumpers.com/content/certification-test-online-version).

Please note: The 4.01 ACPA Operator Safety Training video will no longer fulfill the education requirement for ACPA Certification.
