Certification Update

ACI Name Change - Nozzleman now Shotcreter


It’s been a year since ACI Certification Committee C660 – Shotcreter Certification (formerly Shotcrete Nozzleman Certification) approved the terminology change from Nozzleman to Shotcreter. This update is now reflected across ACI and ASA websites, certification policies, and materials. Now would be a good time to update your websites and marketing pieces to reflect this industry change. More details were shared in the 2nd Quarter 2024 issue of Shotcrete magazine, under Industry News. Click below to learn more.
