This option is available for those who purchased the Certification course and completed the training Modules 1-5 and the knowledge exam — but failed one or more of the tests in the performance exam.
Module 1 covers the introduction to the program and discusses the definition of reinforced concrete and common types of reinforced concrete deterioration, focusing on deterioration resulting from embedded metal corrosion and its effect on existing structures. The process leading to reinforcing steel corrosion is further discussed, including the effects of chlorides, carbonation and access to the reinforcing steel (including cracks and joints, low quality concrete, and reduced concrete cover).
