CESSWI Certification Procedures and Standards

Article III. - In-Training Status

Section 4. Achieving Full CESSWI Status

In-Training registrants desiring to move to full CESSWI status must be in good standing as described in Section 3. Maintaining CESSWI-IT Status. Additionally they must have completed the additional years of qualifying experience specified by the Application Review Committee.

CESSWI-IT registrants who meet these eligibility requirements should submit a CESSWI-IT Evaluation package to the CESSWI Administrative Office. This package must contain the following items:

1. Cover letter requesting evaluation for full CESSWI certification. The cover letter must be signed by the registrant and contain an affirmation of compliance with professional development requirements.
2. Completed CESSWI-IT Professional Experience Profile sheets showing erosion, sediment, and storm water inspection experiences gained since the original application was made.
3. College transcripts for any education completed since the original application was made.
4. Any other relevant information, including training courses, etc. that you want the Application Review Committee to consider.

The adequacy of an In-Training registrant’s work experience will be determined by the Application Review Committee using one of the following methods:

1. Preferred: The CESSWI-IT registrant submits a CESSWI-IT Inspection Experience Profile that documents their work experience. The Profile includes the signature of a qualified licensed or certified professional familiar with the In-Training registrant’s work.
2. Acceptable: The CESSWI-IT registrant submits a CESSWI-IT Inspection Experience Profile to document their work experience AND submits a portfolio of work for review by the Application Review Committee

Allow 45 days for the Application Review Committee to determine the status of the request. The CESSWI Administrative Office will send an appropriate letter to the In-Training registrant who requested evaluation.
