Concrete Masonry and Hardscapes Association Certification — ICPI and NCMA have joined to form the Concrete Masonry and Hardscapes Association. This unified program gives contractors better training, stronger standards, and nationally trusted certifications. RELS is proud to support CMHA and provide local access to these programs for contractors in Maryland, DC, and Virginia.
Local Training With Nick D’Amato
RELS customers get a major advantage through instructor Nick D’Amato. Nick is the only certified instructor in the region approved to teach ICPI, PCIP, SRW, and AMSV. This means contractors can complete CMHA training locally instead of traveling or waiting for limited national sessions.
Spring Courses and Testing
RELS will host two CMHA courses this spring. Testing is offered on the second day of each course. Instruction is free. Test fees are $500 for nonmembers and $400 for CMHA members.
