The NRMCA Concrete Durability Course was offered in Denver earlier this month in partnership with the Colorado Ready Mixed Concrete Association. The course was instructed by Michael Thomas, University of New Brunswick, Kevin Folliard, University of Texas at Austin and NRMCA's Colin Lobo. The 18 attendees included ready mix producers and material suppliers, designers and representatives from federal and state agencies. The course was very well rated by all attendees. 

Of 17 who attempted the exam, 14 passed and 10 were awarded the NRMCA Concrete Technologist Level 4 certification. The Level 4 certification is awarded if individuals have a current NRMCA Level 3 certification. This is not a requirement to attend the course and persons passing the exam can be awarded the Level 4 certification after they have completed the prerequisites. Congratulations to Alan Sparkman of the Tennessee Concrete Association for achieving the highest score on the exam.
