Eleven of instructor Franklin H. Reber Jr.'s concrete science students, along with two graduates and industry employers, recently attended a seven-hour Nudura Corp. Insulated Concrete Forms certification training at Hoover Industrial Supply in Troy. The students did the online testing portion prior to the training, and will receive their certification in proper ICF installation.

The certification is required in the college's Forming, Shoring & Reinforcing class (CST208), Reber said. Hoover Industrial supplied wings and pizza for lunch from Building No 9 Grille during this year's training, the 16th time it has been offered to Penn College construction students.
