The new certificate ensures the highest quality and objectivity through mandatory simulator training and online assessment.
All new applications and renewals of the EFNARC Nozzle Operator Certification will switch to a new certification starting this January, effectively unifying all previous certificates, making VR simulator training mandatory and adding value to the whole scheme.
The new Nozzle Operator Certification brings together different qualities from previous schemes (top industry-standard training, independence, quality control) and it is opened to both experienced and inexperienced nozzlemen.
Applicants will have to go through cutting-edge virtual reality training through our simulator providers, ensuring an efficient, cost-effective and safe training environment, and take online theory tests that guarantee an objective assessment.
The course material will focus on the following topics: concrete technology, spraying equipment, designer expectations, surface finishing and curing, standards and testing as well as Health, Safety & Environment; and it will comprise 5 modules: Theory, Theory Online Exam, Simulator Training, Practical Spraying Experience and Practical Assessment.
Requirements to obtain the new certification
The New Nozzle Operator Certificate is obtained after attending and passing a 5-day course and handing in proof of minimum 40 days robotic spraying experience.
If you are an EFNARC certified Nozzle Operator Examiner, you can find specific information for you here in the members’ area.
EFNARC’s Nozzle Operator Certification Scheme was introduced in 2009 in order to set up a global professional standard for sprayed concrete operators.
