If you wish to become certified, here are the steps:

  1. Review the webpage information for the certification that you’re interested in at http://www.envirocertintl.org/apply/applyOnline.asp
  2. Self-determine if you meet the educational and work experience criteria for that certification
  3. Gather all application materials listed on the website along with your application fee and submit on-line to EnviroCert International to obtain pre-approval to sit for the exam (Please note that EnviroCert typically asks for at least 30 days to review your application materials.  However, they usually turn application reviews around more quickly so please check with them on their current review times).  Your application fees include a copy of the Review Course materials that you will need for the Review Course and/or to study for the exams.
  4. If you’re pre-approved or not, EnviroCert International will mail you a letter stating this.  You must present your approval letter to the proctor at your exam.  You have 1 year from your approval date to sit for the Exam.
  5. Optional:  take an Exam Review Course.  PLEASE NOTE:  You must register to take Review Courses and to sit for Exams – this is NOT included in your application fee (unless you are applying through the municipal discount program).  You do NOT have to be pre-approved to sit for an exam in order to take a Review Course.  If you choose not to submit an application to be pre-approved to take an exam, then you can order Review Course manuals directly from EnviroCert.
  6. Take the exam and obtain a passing grade. 

DEQ is acting as the host for this training opportunity, but is not responsible for registration or course content.
