Report of the MCAA Certification Committee

Words: Robert GladuThe Certification Committee would like to go over our last meetings minutes as to what has been approved by the Board, they are as follows:

Old Business

  • Current Certification credits for Certification changed from 100 to 75, Supervisors 15.
  • The 6 Current Modules will have a Review test after each module is completed.
  • Renewal process will change Primary to 45 credit hours from 75 over 3 year period.
  • Certified Contractor decides for themselves which classes for renewal best serves them.
  • Changed 13 questions on the Final Exam to make them more precise and accurate.
  • Consider working closer with local masonry associations regarding merging Certification.

New business we would like to discuss

We currently have 13 Masonry Contractors with less than a dozen hours left to get certified. How many more are in the process? Can we send a newsletter out to them?
  • Had a conference call with the North Carolina Masonry Association about what they would like to see get done in the future in order for them to feel confident to use our National Certification Program, their issues were;
    • Supervisors having more continued credits in the program.
    • Very cautious about verifying the user on the other end of computer taking the webinar module classes.
    • Their local contractor’s certification going outside of their state.
  • Status of working with other local associations like Rocky Mountain Assoc.?
  • Status of starting a Marketing Program to spearhead Architects to specify us.
