Training and Certification Programs
CBEI’s initial training and certification programs are offered in the following areas:
Concrete Materials for Bridges
The Concrete Materials Program for Bridges program provides guidance on the proper selection and use of constituent materials to improve the service life of concrete bridges, sustainability of concrete construction, and provide hands-on examples of what happens when these are not considered.
Upcoming Training Dates:
- April 29-30, 2025
- August 19-20, 2025
- December 3-4, 2025
Registration will open approximately two months prior to the trainings. Learn more about the course and register at the link below.
Deck Construction Inspection Program
The Deck Construction Inspection Program was established to address the critical need for ensuring the accurate and proper initial construction of concrete bridge decks. This will be done through trainings that utilize full-scale hands-on components. Bridge deck construction techniques utilizing precast deck panels and associated technologies will be included in this program along with other types of bridge deck construction techniques. The Bridge Deck Construction Inspection Program will look to implement the information in the upcoming FHWA document State-of-the-Practice Report for Partial Depth Precast Deck Panels. The bridge deck will have built-in problems encountered in the field alongside the correct installation into the full-scale bridge components.
Post-tensioning Academy – Available early 2026
Post-tensioning (PT) Laboratory (aka PT Academy) to provide hands-on training for field installers and inspectors as well as test and verify promising post-tensioning technologies. PT Academy will look to implement and provide training and support for technology developments within the industry.
