"I took the CESCL training course a couple months ago and it was solid. The online trainer portion was surprisingly engaging and the trainer was practical with the information while also being thorough. The online modules were informative and easy enough to follow, and the videos within some of the modules were interesting and helped to see how different techniques presented are designed and implemented. I would 100% take this course again."

Training & Certification That Sticks

Stormwater Training and Testing Designed for the Adult Learner

This video provides a brief overview of how we structure our stormwater training and certification content to accommodate different adult learning styles.

VARK is an adult learning acronym that stands for:

  V - Visual Learning
  A - Auditory Learning
  R - Reading and Writing Learning
  K - Kinesthetic Learning

It's what makes our training "stick."
Note :
"All construction projects within the State of Washington must designate at least one (1) person as the responsible representative in charge of Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC), and water quality protection.
For projects larger than one (1) acre, the designated person shall be the CESCL who is responsible for ensuring compliance with all local, state, and federal erosion and sediment control and water quality requirements.
(Local jurisdictions may require CESCL certification for sites less than 1 acre, neither does the CSWGP, except in limited cases.)"
