Certified Stormwater Inspector – California
During these times, our Certified Stormwater Inspector training classes are being conducted via instructor-led, interactive webinar technology. National Stormwater Center cares about the health and safety of our customers and our staff and will continue to practice physical distancing measures until such time that in-person classes can safely be resumed.
Designed specifically for MS4 personnel this online course focuses on stormwater permit compliance as the key to restore and maintain the waters of the United States. Testing will be conducted; students are required to achieve a minimum overall score of 75% to be awarded 1.6 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) from National Stormwater Center, and a five (5) year Inspector Certificate.
Permits require that "Qualified Personnel" conduct inspections, National Stormwater Center certifies graduates for your Stormwater Team. Certification indicates that the services our graduates conduct are being performed by professionals who have met the established standards of knowledge, experience, and competence required in the field of stormwater inspections. The National Stormwater Center's CSI-MS4 class has been an integral part of the success of 10,200 municipal inspectors across the country.
