CESSWI Certification Procedures and Standards

Article III. - In-Training Status

Section 5. CESSWI-IT Retest Policy

A CESSWI-IT registrant is allowed up to two (2) retests on the Practical Application part of the CESSWI Exam. Failing to achieve a passing score on the second retest is a basis for suspension of CESSWI-IT status. If suspended, the registrant will have three (3) years in which to get the suspension lifted and to pass the retest. After that, the CESSWI-IT status may be revoked by action of the CESSWI Council (see Article II, Section 4).

To lift the suspension, the registrant must petition the CESSWI Council with evidence showing training courses the registrant has taken to improve their knowledge of inspecting erosion, sediment, and storm water management plans and practices. If approved by the Council, the registrant will be granted one additional retest. The registrant may appeal the decision of the Council by providing additional supportive data. Failing to achieve a passing score on this retest is a basis for revocation of CESSWI-IT status.
