Certification Exam
The certification exam is a comprehensive exam that covers all aspects of masonry. The exam is graded on a pass/fail basis with a passing grade of 80% or better. If you do not pass the exam on the first attempt, you will be allowed to retake it at a future date.
Maintaining Certification
Certification must be renewed every 3 years. The renewal process is relatively simple. The primary in the firm must have a total of 75 continuing education course credits within the three year period. Supervisors in the firm must have an additional 15 hours during the same three year period. Once the renewal fee is paid and hours verified, the certification will renew. You are not required to retake the exam.
Certification Revocation
Contractor certification may be revoked in certain cases. Certification can be revoked if contractors do not maintain the required level of quality expected from a certified mason contractor. The certification committee is currently addressing the revocation policy and procedures for revocation and the appeals process. A supplemental information sheet will be available when this process is complete.
Certification Fees
The initial fee for certification is $600.00 per company. The fee includes all tracking services and exam fee (up to two tests). An information packet will be mailed upon registration which will include recommended readings and classes that will help with the exam, important information about the certification process and a username and password to access the MCAA certification website. The renewal fee is $500.00 every three years.
