The EIFS-Doing It Right program is based on industry-accepted best practices and standards, primarily ASTM C1397. The instruction is generic and not manufacturer or product specific. The instruction:
*MECHANICS ONLY MAY USE THE SELF-STUDY FORMAT TO BECOME AWCI CERTIFIED.
The AWCI certificate program for the three categories is a voluntary, industry-led effort that recognizes personnel who have met specified standards as measured by the EIFS examinations. It demonstrates to the industry and the public that the individuals have been instructed in accepted EIFS practices and have demonstrated the acquired knowledge through testing.
