Site Evaluator Training and Contact Hours

Beginning with the 2007-2009 licensing period, each Site Evaluator licensee shall earn a minimum of twelve (12) professional development contact hours within each license period in order to obtain license renewal.

A professional development contact hour (50 minutes or more) is part of a formal program designed to increase a participant’s knowledge of the site evaluation process including, but not limited to, soils identification, field data collection and analysis, rule interpretation and application, system design, manual or computer aided drafting techniques, system construction techniques, system inspection techniques, and programs relating to the legal and ethical practice of the profession of Site Evaluation.

To assist Site Evaluators, the Division has assembled a list of programs and seminars that are known to us, below. The Division will also consider other training opportunites on a case-by-case basis as they are presented to us.
