CISEC Inc. and IECA have developed a CISEC Inspector Online Training Program that emulates the existing in-person program and covers the same material. This four-module program is ideal for individuals studying for the CISEC Exam or seeking to expand their knowledge about inspecting construction site sediment and erosion control (S&EC).
CISEC Inc.’s president, Dr. Jerald S. Fifield, says that development of the CISEC training modules addresses a majority of inspector skills sought by the EPA and regulatory agencies throughout the United States and Canada.
“The purpose of this training is to provide an alternative to the in-person classroom experience,” says Russell Adsit, FASLA, executive director of IECA Region One. “Some people learn better in a slower-paced environment without the distractions of the classroom. If a topic is unclear, the student can go back and review at their own pace while any familiar topics can be reviewed quickly,” says Adsit.
