The CCAI Certification Program is a part of the Finishing
Technician educational courses developed by CCAI and taught at the college
level. These classes have been taught since 1993 on several finishing subjects.
The college courses are conducted in 15 classes of 3 hours each. Our
Certification Program is a one-day course designed to make the college courses
available to individuals who cannot attend the full 15-week program.
Attendees must pre-register and will receive a copy of the
CCAI Training Manual and a study guide by mail once their registrations are
received. The course material is typically presented from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM on
the selected course day. The final hour of the course will be spent on
completion of a written test to evaluate the attendee. Those who score 85% or
better on the test will receive a Certificate of Completion for the course.
