Steps to Becoming a Certified Shotcrete Nozzleman
By Charles Hanskat
In fielding questions about ASA’s shotcrete certification, I often get the question “Does ASA provide nozzleman training?” The short answer is “No.” However, we do provide comprehensive nozzleman “Education” and conduct the large majority of ACI’s shotcrete nozzleman certifications for shotcrete contractors around the world.
