The Regional Short Course in February is co-sponsored by the Texas Aggregates and Concrete Association (TACA). 

The Short Course provides a fundamental understanding of concrete, aggregates and concrete making materials; requirements in industry codes and standards and proportioning concrete mixtures.

These industry certifications are essential for technical service personnel with suppliers of materials to the concrete industry and with concrete producers.
