How This Training Works

Important: This is an online class. Once you have purchased our class, and your order has been processed, you will be sent information about logging into our Online Learning Managements System (LMS).

This training covers the physical techniques as well as the proper reporting and documentation requirements for ensuring compliance under the NPDES Construction General Permit.

At the end of each online module, users take a 20-question exam that is generated from a pool of questions associated with that module. Students will not receive credit for that module until they score a 75% or greater on the exam, and can retake the exam as many times as necessary to do so.

Upon completion of all course modules, students are able to print their certificate for their records and receive a hardhat decal through the mail.

Learning Objectives for CCIS

This CCIS certification class will provide the student with a fundamental knowledge of all aspects of erosion and sediment control so the CCIS certified person can:

* Inspect the entire site and determine possible causes of BMP ineffectiveness and how to correct them;

* Describe and understand proper installation and maintenance of best management practices;

* Communicate the complete information on an inspection report of not only what the noncompliance is but also when and how it was resolved;

* Make proper and informed decisions when reviewing a SWPPP at the site for compliance; and

* Understand the teamwork and communication necessary between owner, operators, contractors and SWPPP designer so the site stays in compliance throughout the construction project.

The short examination at the end of each class will also assess the students’ ability to comprehend and understand the material presented.

Testimonials
"I purchased two courses for SWPPP preparation certifications and the initial impression of the training exceeded our expectations. The courses are divided into modules that focus on key aspects of Storm Water impacts and Erosion Controls on job sites. Each module was very comprehensive and detailed. The exam at the end of each module was surprisingly challenging to say the least. All in all this was a great experience.
Thank you once again and I hope to take more courses and training as they become available."
