Online Training Modules

The National Highway Institute (NHI) is offering free online training modules, designed by the CP Tech Center, based on the IMCP Manual. With these modules, you will be able to get the concrete pavement knowledge you need from your own computer at your own pace.

The Durability module is available now. More modules will become available as they are converted to web-based training. Look for more modules under the "Web Course" icon in the right-hand column of the NHI homepage.

Visit the NHI homepage and use your email address and some basic information to sign up for a username and password. Find a module and go through the "checkout" process to view the training. Find more information about signing up for the online training (pdf).

IMCP Manual Technical Summaries

A set of technical summaries of chapters 1 through 10 was developed to provide a general overview of information in the manual and introduce its important concepts. To be useful as training documents, the technical summaries should be used in conjunction with the manual.
